Michele Colon Ruined Our Marriage Pt.2

Michele Colon Ruined Our Marriage Pt.2

Attending Church Was Like Salsa Dancing

In Part 1 of this series, we learned the fact that Michele Colón invited herself to the World Mission Society Church of God after hearing that some of her co-workers were attending the Church. We also learned that it was Michele Colon who introduced her former husband to the Church, and that they both enjoyed attending the Church together.

Now in Part 2 of this series, we will learn more about the issues between Michele and her then husband, and how the Church helped them during their trials.

Michele Colón and I had serious issues that brought us to the brink of ending our relationship, so we mutually decided to speak to the Pastor of the Church of God for counseling.

During our meeting with the Pastor, he explained that if we were going to continue hurting each other, then we shouldn’t be together. But if we loved each other, as God had made the covenant of marriage, then we would be blessed if we decided to commit to loving each other and get married. That same night, after we had spoken for a couple of hours, Michele and I reconciled our differences and we decided that we would get married.

I realized that if I truly wanted to follow God, then I had to change. I decided I would marry Michele, try to be a good husband, and devote my life to my new-found Christian values. I saved enough for an engagement ring and officially proposed to Michele. Soon thereafter, Michele and I began to plan our wedding.

At the same time, we took upon the project of becoming homeowners. Michele and I bought a foreclosed house that required a lot of construction. Even though we couldn’t spend any significant time at the Church due to our wedding and our new home, the Church members would come and help us with the renovation and preparation of our new home.

Church members also helped us plan and even get everything ready for the day of our wedding. I was very thankful to God for them because it was hard trying to plan a wedding and remodel a house. The help offered by our fellow Church members helped alleviate the stress we were undergoing. Through the members’ help, I came to feel part of this big family that I never had.

 As I learned more about the Bible and got to know the members of the Church better, I decided that I wanted to be more devoted to following God’s path. Michele and I started to keep more than just two services on the Sabbath and joined in more activities with the Church. I did not find it strange that we would spend more time in the Church, because to me it was no different than when I started to go to the dance studio. The more I learned, the more I wanted to dance and be around the people from the studio.

I never once felt pressured to go to church, as Michele makes it seem in her story. For me it was no different than our time with the dance group—we spent time with them at the studio and also in dance clubs. The more we enjoyed it, the more time we spent at the studio and with the dance group. The time commitment with the Church she talks about was no different than the amount of time we spent practicing dances at the studio.

However, I did notice that Michele did not seem to like it when I decided to spend more time at church or when I decided to keep one more service on the Sabbath. I felt she was trying not to show her displeasure and hide her true feelings instead.

Michele Colón blames the Church for “destroying” her marriage. But from her former husband’s viewpoint, they made the decision to get married after counseling with the Pastor. Her former husband’s decision to live a Christian life, and his devotion to this new-found faith gave him comfort in his life. All he wanted was to live a happy life with his wife in his new home while following God.

This would all change later on. Find out in Part 3 of this series.

    The truth is always revealed… What does not make sense, is the simple fact that no one can force you to do something outside of your own will? Michele’s husband explained, they were experiencing issues BEFORE they decided to get married. Though the issues were there and they even consulted Pastor, they still decided to get married with the mindset to work things out. However, Michele now blames the Church of God for the issues in their relationship even though her husband admitted they existed before the marriage. Another thing, her husband stated something that we all know as common sense. When you enjoy something, someone or somewhere, is it not natural to continue to do it or surround yourself with it? He admitted that he enjoyed being at the Church of God, so naturally they attended more as time passed by. No one forced them to do anything especially if it is outside of your own will. For Michele to blame the church for her ruined marriage clearly is proven to be inaccurate on behalf of her spouses testimony.

    Hmm, Michele says that she was brainwashed and “forced” to spend so much time at the church and was sleep deprived lol but in reality she didn’t even spend much time at the church at all! Talk about straight up lying!!!! With her logic, I guess my job is brainwashing me to the full and making me extremely sleep deprived because I’m there 40 hours a week!

    I’m glad these articles have been published. I really hope people outside of the Church of God realize the other side of the story. The Church of God does NOT dictate what people should and shouldn’t do in their personal lives. It’s so ironic that Michelle has been telling the story that the Church destroyed her marriage when, in fact, the Church helped them through their difficulties. And members even helped them plan their wedding and fix up their new home. How come she hasn’t mentioned any of those things?!?

  4. Kristell

    Michele only points out what she says was “wrong” with the church and the members however, she neglects to mention how they helped her throughout the wedding and settling into her new home. She doesn’t have a good track record with relationships. One failed relationship with her ex fiancé and now a divorce. Very important to hear the other side of the story especially from members who are happy to be a part of the Church of God.

    Did she forget that all the members helped her plan her wedding and with her house? How unappreciative and ungrateful! How can you have someone volunteer on their own time to help you like that and then turn around and spit in their face? I really feel bad for the members who she has treated so badly even though they tried to serve her with all their heart and soul.

  6. Reina

    I just don’t understand why she makes up lies and speaks poorly about the church of God even though church members helped them a lot!!!!! She shouldn’t have anything negative to say about the church of God except thankful words.

    I just want to know where Michelle Colon gets this ideas that the Church of God “Ruined her marriage”.. It makes no sense. The members even took their own time to help them with their home and also wedding planning… It’s obvious that all their intentions were on helping them. I’m happy to see the other side of the story and also for others to see the truth! (On to Part III)

    Obviously, from this article, we can see that the Pastor and Church of God members showed their support in Michele’s marriage by encouraging them to stay together, and by helping them prepare for their wedding and new home.

  9. Angel

    The former husband clearly stated that he never felt pressured to go to WMSCOG…
    Then where does Michele get this idea that the church broke up the marriage? It is clear that because she disagreed with him being in the church, she decided to break up the marriage. Her accusations are false and I wish she used her energy in a positive way. The WMSCOG has helped and is continuing to give help in disaster relief, hunger relief, and even aid in sickness relief all around the world. . . Why doesn’t she do the same or even attempt to help her local community; isn’t that the role of a good person?
    It’s the typical, “wolf picks on sheep” syndrome. Just remember, that the sheep have a great Shepherd!

    So Ms. Colon is blaming the church for ending a marriage which she didn’t have before she came to the church and she’s blaming her husband for liking the church she brought him to…
    Before reading this I could have felt for her losses but I guess the ones responsible for sensationalizing her story would have much to entertain people with if they reported the truth. I personally can’t understand her animosity towards the World Mission Society Church of God or her husband, I’m so happy both sides of the story are out so people can see a clearer picture of what’s happening. Thanks for making the efforts to do diligence with this story.

    It looks like everything was off to a great start. Too bad Michele started feeling some kind of way. Can’t wait to discover the truth behind her change of attitude.

  12. Natasha

    How beautiful, the members of the Church even gave up their personal time to help with the planning of the wedding and remodeling of their house. It is completely natural that colon’s ex-husband wanted to be committed to the Church, he was able to see and understand the love of God through the Bible and through the Church members actions.

    I find it very insulting and shameful that colon is now speaking ill of the Church that showed her love and consideration.

  13. Antonia

    It becomes clearer and clearer the more I read! Part 3 I can’t wait!

  14. Cynthia Rodriguez

    The members from the Church of God always considers others and always has the mind of Christ who thinks about the benefit and good of others. She received such treatment that our world today does not offer. It’s really sad to see how she’s turned against the Church of God who only thought about the good for both of them. The members even willingly helped them remodel their home. It’s cruel to bash a whole organization just because things didn’t go the way she wanted with one person. I’m glad the other side of the story was exposed and truth has been brought forth.
