Michele Colon Ruined Our Marriage Pt.3
In Part 2 of this series, we learned the fact that the former husband and Michele’s relationship grew stronger, in part, due to their counseling with the Pastor of the World Mission Society Church of God. Michele’s former husband tells how he made it his life goal to live a happy life with Michele in their newly purchased house, following God and the Bible at the Church of God.
Now in Part 3 of this series, we will learn more about the issues between Michele and her then husband, and how the Church again helped them during their trials.
Everything seemed to be going well in my relationship with Michele. We had our wedding, which the Church members helped us prepare. We went on our honeymoon. Contrary to the allegation that Church members cannot go on vacation, Michele and I went to Mexico.
Once we returned from our honeymoon everything changed. On a Tuesday, Michele called me at work to tell me that she needed to show me something. She said that she had been looking for more evidence to show that Constantine did indeed abolish the Sabbath, but she had come across some other websites that spoke against the Church of God. I remember her mentioning that the Church “lied” to her in regards to some of its teachings.
After speaking to her, we decided not to attend service that very night. I remember Michele being very angry and stating that she felt like a fool for attending the Church, but I on the other hand felt lost. Lost because I knew that everything I had learned until that point was clear and it was coming from the Bible. I knew that nowhere else would I be able to see and study the Bible in this way, and my time as a Church member had filled me with a lot of happiness in my life. I felt that there had to be some sort of explanation and reason, why at that particular moment, it seemed not to make sense.
We decided to go and meet with the Pastor in order to get answers for our questions and express the concerns we had. As we met with the Pastor and some other church members, I felt satisfied with all the answers that were provided, while Michele was not as satisfied at all. But by the end of the meeting, we both decided we would continue to attend the Church.
Although Michele agreed to continue attending the Church, I felt as if she did not want to remain a member. The questions that Michele presented to the Church from that point on were not sincere, and even if she was given an accurate answer, Michele did not try to understand the answer. It seemed from that point on, her mission was to make me agree with her completely in an effort to make me leave the Church.
After this, we began arguing nonstop. No matter what we may have been discussing or arguing about, by the end of it, Michele would bring something up about the Church. Every night, I felt like I had to defend my faith to my wife, who did not want to respect nor tolerate my religious beliefs. She continuously said spiteful things in order to hurt my feelings. This was her tactic to get me to leave the Church.
It seemed that the more I became involved with the Church, the more Michele attacked me. Now that I look back, I wonder sometimes if she was just using the Church to get what she wanted, which was for us to get married. Michele had this obsession with marriage, she always talked about the fact that her Mom was going to get married a second time, before she even got married once.
After several months of intense and increasingly hurtful arguments, I went to the Pastor many times, determined to speak to him about my plan to leave Michele, but on every occasion, he consoled me and advised me not to leave her, but instead to stay with her and even give her more love, in the hope that we would find a common ground where we could both be happy in our marriage.
Taking the Pastor’s advice, I tried to spend more time with her for months thereafter, while attempting to keep my faith in God despite her objection, but nothing was good enough for her. She would not be happy until I left the Church. She wanted me to make a decision, which I thought was unfair, she wanted me to decide either her or the Church. Why should I give up either one of the things that I love? Why can’t I have my wife and my faith both be part of my life?
Michele Colón made her former husband’s life miserable, even asking for an unreasonable demand. In society, there are many couples who have different beliefs, yet they remain happily married. If that wasn’t enough, Michele introduced him to the Church, but now that Michele didn’t want to be part of the Church, she wanted him to leave also. When he decided to remain a member, Michele couldn’t tolerate it and she made it her goal to make him leave the Church.
In Part 4 of our series, we will begin to learn how Michele’s behavior was the main factor in the demise of her marriage.

After reading this article, I feel as though the complaint that Michelle made against the World Mission Society Church of God was unwarranted. Even though disagreements in marital relationships are common, it seems as though Michelle had already decided to leave the church after some comments that she read on the Internet. In actuality, the Internet is a place where people go to voice their opinions but opinions don’t always coincide with factual information. If she believed the teachings of the Bible, as well as factual information regarding the history of Christianity, she could have easily concluded that the reports on the Internet were false – and would have continued to stay in the church, with an ever-increasing faith. However, through her actions, it becomes evident that her intent was to manipulate her husband to leave the church because he had found something as important to him as their relationship. Like Judas Iscariot, those who desire to leave God will find reasons to dismiss God, even if those reasons are based on false pretexts. Christians like Peter, on the other hand, discover more and more reasons to believe and are allowed to take part in the wonders of God.

The Church of God really is a great church! No matter what people say, our faith should never be swayed upon allegations or rumors. After all, truth is truth, even 2,000 years ago when the people left Christ because they could not accept his teachings, one disciple replied: “lord to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life”. (John 6:68). Even though rumors are made, (just like 2,000 years ago) it is DEFINITELY ONLY the Church of God World Mission Society that teaches the bible 100%! I want to always keep my faith only in the bible/truth with the same type of faith as Simon Peter 2,000 years ago! – rumors are nonsense… God is real! Let’s always stay with God!

After reading and understanding the husband’s viewpoint on the different stages leading up to now, it is very heartbreaking. Michele was the one who introduced her husband to the Church of God and as he was experiencing happiness in something he had interest in, which was building his faith and relationship with the church she made every effort to try to pull him away. When you are in a commitment, like marriage, don’t you have to constantly give in for one another? As God taught the believers to give in for one another and be considerate of each other (Rom12:10;Heb 10:24 etc.). These teachings as well are taught and demonstrated in the Church of God. It is very hard to believe the church would be responsible for the cause of their ruined relationship, as Michele claims. You have to listen to both sides of the story before we can automatically assume someone’s statement is fact, this case proves that.

Does Michele forget that this is America and there is freedom of religion? Why does she make accusations about the church “forcing” her to do this and that, when the only one “forcing” anything is her forcing her husband to choose God or her. What a twisted, unfortunate situation.

I am TRULY thankful that this side of the story is coming out. There are a small group of people who have made it their mission to demonize the WMSCOG. They do this spreading lies about the church, because frankly that’s all they can do. Michelle mentioned “recruiting” yet she invited herself (LIAR). She says the Church “destroyed” her marriage, yet the church helped prepare her marriage (LIAR). The church helped her prepare her new home and when they had troubles the pastor guided them to stay together following Christ’s example of forgiveness.
BTW I noticed Michelle also said some outlandish things like the church using sleep deprivation so she could be mind controlled and that she always felt tired as a member. If that’s the case why does she stay up till 2 am writing blogs against the church. I’ve seen those personally. She said the Church took over her life, but it seems she puts more efforts and spends more time spreading lies and hatred then she actually spent in the church when she was a member.
Also for the journalists who insist on spreading Michelle Colon’s lies, wouldn’t the ETHICAL thing to do, be to try to tell this other side of the story. What I have read lately in these supposed reliable media sources is gossip and slander, very UNETHICAL Journalism.

Everyone is different and has different sets of values and beliefs and we live in an age of acceptance. Once married, especially after she was the one who introduced him to the Church of God, she should’ve just left the Church and accepted his choice to stay in the Church. I think it’s pretty crazy that she made him choose between her and God…
-
I think her denial of a failed marriage is leading her to lie so much because she doesn’t want to accept she just loves the idea of getting married but not the idea of actually living a successful long term marriage which takes a lot of effort by both parties. It seems to me that her husband was willing to accept her even though she didn’t want to be a member anymore. He wanted to love her no matter what but she wanted her way instead. That is selfish. Many marriages succeed even though the husband and wife are of different religions.
-
I realize that those who choose to leave Church of God is not because the teachings arent true (In which they try so hard to dig up some negative evidence against the church) but really for their own personal problems. But still choose to blame the church for their issues even though it seems to me the church did everything sincerely to help them.
-
I think we all know the real brainwashing going on… For michele to make such accusations and slander, knowing in reality how the church helped her with her marriage and encouraged them to work things out, shows that she is really brainwashed!!!

I am a member of the WMSCOG and my wife is not , I have been in the church the whole time of our marriage (4yrs) and though she doesn’t agree with my Belief she has stayed with me and even joins some of the churche’s volunteer events. Many times I thought about leaving her but when I seeked my pastors advice I was given the same advice to stay with her and give her more love then ever before. Thanks to Father and Mother I am still happily Married and have 2 Beautiful Children that were Baptized at the Church. Being a member of the WMSCOG is the best thing that has happend in my life and it’s unfortunate that people are trying to falsely accuse Our Church and I’m very happy to hear our brothers side of the story and know the TRUTH of the Story

I have met so many people that are married and they practice totally different religions (Husband is Catholic and wife Jewish) but they respect each other. But Michele Colon made her mission to make her husband’s life a nightmare… Yet she says that it was the Church of God… What is wrong with you? It makes no sense. Is like saying “It’s my teacher’s fault that I failed a test I didn’t study for…” All the accusations that this woman makes cannot even be backed up with any evidence (that stands on her side at least). At the end of the day, the LIES will be revealed along with the TRUTH! (Can’t wait for Part 4!)

Wow! This account truly exposed Michele’s heart. How can we treat someone we love in this manner. It only proves all the more without God we can not love. This article really reveals how she violated all that is Love: “Love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful, it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.”
I give thanks to the true Teachers who taught us how we may sincerely love one another

?????????????????????????????
How can religion break up a marriage?
Everybody knows divorce happens when one or both people are unwilling to communicate, compromise, be faithful, consider their spouse’s feelings, etc.
Basically, it’s people who break up marriages, not the God they believe in.
Preposterous.

I feel bad for her ex-husband had to deal with her at that time, it must be really difficult feel like going for war every night instead of going home. If I was him, I would leave her too, who wants to argue nonstop with his newly-wed wife? And no matter what they were talking or arguing about, Michele would bring something up about the Church? That is just annoying, you can’t even reason with someone like that to try to fix the relationship.
