Michele Colon Ruined Our Marriage Pt.1

Michele Colon Ruined Our Marriage Pt.1

Michele Colon, Myself and the WMSCOG.

Michele Colon has been very vocal about her membership in the World Mission Society Church of God. She created a website and also appeared in several articles telling a one-sided story: “The World Mission Society Church of God ‘brainwashed’ me and destroyed my marriage.”

Unbeknownst to readers, this is part of Michele Colón’s larger effort to incite the public against the Church of God by any means possible and blame the Church for her failed marriage.

I would like to present the side of the story that has not been covered yet: the story of Michele Colón’s ex-husband. Through his story, readers will be able to understand the series of events leading up to the present, the truth about their relationship and the role the World Mission Society Church of God played. After I read a certification that was submitted to the court, I reached out to Colon’s ex-husband, and this is what he told me:

Michele Colón and I met at a salsa dance studio. We had been taking the same class together and became dance partners. Michele was engaged to be married, however she ended up breaking up with her fiancé. Not too long after that, Michele and I began dating.

Our relationship was good in the beginning, but became rocky after approximately one year. Around that time, Michele invited me to the World Mission Society Church of God. I was a little bit hesitant at first, but I decided to try it out. Michele had already been attending the Church for almost two weeks before she invited me and had gotten baptized in the Church.

I was shocked by Michele’s invitation because she never mentioned that she had any interest in going to church before. Later, I found out Michele invited herself to the Church after overhearing her co-workers talk about attending, and was very enthusiastic about going to study.

When I went to the Church of God for the first time, I attended a worship service and did one Bible study about the Sabbath day after service. I was so impressed with what I had been shown in the Bible that I decided to become a member of the Church. I received baptism that night.

Michele and I continued attending the Church, kept a service on the Sabbath day and went to the Church at least once during the week to continue in our Bible studies. After being members of the Church for a couple of months, we came to realize that many of the members would stay at church for the whole Sabbath, joining in the services and then fellowship, study the Bible, or just enjoy each other’s company. It was more than a church, it was like a community center. At first it was all new to me—coming from a different kind of church, the type where you only keep service for an hour and then you leave. But after spending time with the members of the Church of God and studying the Bible, I started to realize that they really love God and understood God’s love for them. I found it inspirational and comforting, in the way religion can often comfort and inspire people.

During this time, Michele felt the same way I did and she had great things to say about the Church. Although she was the one who invited me, we both made the mutual decision to go to church more in order to understand more about God. As we attended church together, we were both loving it.

However, as with most relationships, differences arose. Michele and I had some serious relationship issues but, thanks to the guidance from the Pastor of the World Mission Society Church of God, we were able to stay together.

Michele Colón blames the Church for “brainwashing” her and former husband, and for “destroying” her marriage. But from the former husband’s story, we can see that he joined the Church at Michele’s invitation and enthusiasm. They also jointly made the decision to attend the Church together and more frequently.

In Part 2 of Michele’s ex-husbands story, we will find out how the Church helped him and Michele Colon stay together during their relationship problems.

    It’s great to find that the Church of God always practices a helping hand. Immediately after reading this article, similarly to some previous comments, honestly, how could a Church be the conflict cause of any marriage. The relationship initially had its own problems and the WMSCOG members helped their relationship stay together. Though the members don’t have to, you can realize that the members practice the love of God offering their help and assistance. Seriously, what church does that? From what I hear, people who attend other churches go for the hour service, leave and their leaders don’t even know their members’ names. The fact that this article informs me that members of the WMSCOG took their time to help out in someone’s marriage’ shows me that they practice consideration and the love of God. Therefore, I believe the WMSCOG that’s a Family, does not break relationships but rather upholds to building stronger relationships. It is why, in the WMSCOG, learning how to be a Family is one of all the great things you’ll learn and it’s supported greatly.

    Truly two sides to every story. It’s amazing how perfect God’s work gets done. These types of situations makes my faith in Father And mother even stronger because they truly show the spiritual world. When people are against the truth they will say anything to just oppose God. This is a perfect example of that. We can’t take our personal lives and personal problems and place them on to the church or a Pastor . Even in the Bible it tells us to bear our own cross. Their failed marriage has nothing to do with that of the church and truly it’s rather sad and pathetic when people blame each other for their own personal issues. Michele and her husband made their own choices and both of them seem to have reaped what what they sewed.

    Wow, truly this proves the saying “there are two sides to one story”. With the lies Michele has spread many people had a negative view about the Church of God. Now, reading the side of her ex-husband we can see that the false claims she is making is very inconsistent when reading her ex-husband’s story. Why would anyone believe anything else she has to say? He even mentioned Church of God tried to help their relationship. I am excited to read part 2 and 3!

    I recently read about Michele C. and the accusations she was making against WMSCOG and I’m really glad to see that through this article I’m able to understand both sides of the story because if you only see one side then you wont get the truth. Now seeing how she claims that she was brainwashed and has a broken marriage it does not make sense because she was the one that invited her ex husband to come to the church in the first place and they agreed to continue coming for bible studies. The ex-husband even explained that the Pastor helped better their relationship so it’s very clear to see that she is just looking to blame anyone but herself for the broken marriage.

    I find it very sad when people try to blame others for the fall of their relationships without taking a self assessment of their actions that may have lead to the unsuccessful marriage. As opposed to dedicating so much time to attack a church that has a positive impact in the lives of so many, she should take advantage of this time to move forward with her life. As a previous reader posted, there are multiple sides to each story and I am thankful that we can now see the account of the ex-husband. I am looking forward to seeing the next installments of the story to get a greater understanding of the situation.

  6. There are millions of churches in America and millions of people in relationships in America too. I wonder if she went to a different church she would make such a strong effort to go against them in the media? Her ex husband said she left her fiance BEFORE coming to the church. He said one year into their relationship THEY HAD (key word HAD) problems already. If I’m not mistaken this arose apart from the church. How then could the church be the sudden source of a result that had a foundation before the church. That doesn’t seem consistent to me.

    Truly, in order to understand the full story, we need to see both sides.
    I hope she stops talking bad about the church of God since what she has said about the church of God is definitely not true.

  8. Julia

    The truth will always be revealed…..how can she deny any of this. Note how in all her accusations she seems to forget all these points…I feel bad for the ex fiance, and the ex husband! And most of all, for the people that are buying her “oh woe is me” victim story. Anyway, in due time her true intentions will be revealed, just like the true story’s been revealed.

  9. Deymarie G.

    OK

    First: She invited herself to the Church of God
    Second: She had commitments issues before even coming to church.
    Third: The Pastor was even willing to help them with their marriage.
    Last: No one “brain washed” her to stay, she made that decision on her own.

    Honestly, disagreements happen in relationships, but the best way to fix it is by trying to be united and communicate. I have been there and many other members as well and so far we are still standing straight in our marriage. There is no need to blame others, specially the Church of God, for something that needs to be fixed within yourself. That’s just wrong.

    I’m happy to see both sides of the stories! (Ready for Part II)

    Through reading what happened with michelle seems to be that she brought that upon herself. Why blame the church if they had nothing to do with her not knowing how to hold a relationship together. It’s always good to see the other side of the story because always you can see the Truth. Being a member of the Church of God I learned and understood how to give God’s love which is the most important thing to have, especially in a family, to your husband, friends, and co workers. Im thankful to be a member of the Church of God.

    From this article, I can conclude that Michele had previously enjoyed being apart of the WMS Church of God. I’m assuming that something dramatic must have happened to her that changed her views of the church. The answers to what happened to Michele are found in the other articles of this story (PT. 2,3,4).

  12. Natasha

    How could the Church be responsible for destroying her marriage if it was the Church who helped them stay together during their relationship troubles. It’s obvious that colon is pointing her fingers of defamation in the wrong direction, I heard a quote from an unknown author which states “remember when you point a finger at someone there are three more pointing back to you.” colon should consider analyzing herself before she blames her personal issues on others.

  13. Michael H

    Great article! I never knew she INVITED HERSELF! And then she says the church brainwashed her?! Michele’s claims DO NOT MAKE SENSE! It looks like she is looking for something to blame her failed marriage on.

  14. Antonia

    There’s always 2 sides to a story and it’s clear to see who’s telling the truth. She should realize that when you start to point fingers there’s always more pointing back at you. I can’t wait to read part 2!
