Michele Colon Ruined Our Marriage Pt. 4
In Part 3 of this series, we learned how Michele became intolerant to the fact that her former husband wanted to remain a member of the World Mission Society Church of God while Michele wanted to leave.
In this part of the series, we will learn how Michele began a campaign, which even included deception, to try to get him to leave the Church. This behavior made living with Michele unbearable. Let us continue learning Michele Colon’s former husband’s story.
As the frequency of arguments between Michele and I increased, I even felt like never going back to my own home. I felt better staying at Church. When I was home, I would rather study the Bible to avoid entering into another heated argument with Michele. I felt this was more constructive and enjoyable way to spend my time.
Michele became very mean and spiteful. She would constantly send me information from online articles that argue against the beliefs of the Church, or claim things about the Church and its practices that I know–from first-hand knowledge–were completely untrue.
I finally decided to move out because I knew the situation was not healthy for either of us. After some time apart, I spoke with Michele and agreed to move back home. I invited her to come back to the Church by studying or keeping service from time to time, but I never pressured her. My hope was that if she gave it a chance and kept an open mind, she would find joy in it as she used to, as I had, or at least she would come to better understand why I chose to remain a member of the Church.
Michele decided to come back to the Church and repeat all of the studies again. She would even come and keep service on the Sabbath. But things were not getting any better. Even during this time when she was “trying” to give the Church a second chance, she continued making every imaginable effort to get me to leave the Church.
By Michele’s suggestion, and in my effort to show my wife that I loved her, we decided to see an independent marriage counselor. As soon as he began counseling us, I felt Michele and the counselor had already designed a plan on how they would get me to agree with them on what they felt was best for me. There was even a point in the counseling session that they would speak to each other as if I was not even in the room.
Michele then asked me to see another marriage counselor. Since I wanted to leave the door open to see how we could work out the problems in our relationship, I agreed to go again, even after the awful experience the first time. When we got to the “counseling session,” I saw that this man (who I thought was a marriage counselor) worked from his home. After entering his office, the man proceeded to speak for the next four hours about his experience and personal achievements. Then, for the next two hours, he told me how bad he believed the Church was.
The marriage counselor began to say that the Church was just manipulating me to exploit me financially because that is what the Church thrives on. I asked him frankly, “Fine. Let’s say this Church is all about the money. So what are they doing with all this money? Show evidence of the lavish lifestyles of the leaders? Show me pictures of the mansions the leaders own and the fancy cars the leaders drive?” He had no answer to my questions.
I should have realized before, but believing Michele I tried to hear the man out for all those hours. He even tried to get me to lose all communication with anyone other than my wife. He wanted Michele and I to stay near his house for 3 days with no contact with anyone else on the outside, this was absurd. I left with Michele, extremely angry after realizing that she had deceived me and brought me to a self-proclaimed “cult expert” by the name of Rick Alan Ross. I did some research on the guy afterwards. He had a history of kidnapping people and forcibly deprogramming them.
I felt betrayed by my own wife, and lost a lot of trust in her. I do not understand how Michele could ever claim that the Church caused a divide between us. What caused division between us was her intolerance for my religious belief, and her manipulative methods to get me to renounce my faith.
I know there are couples in the Church whose spouse is not a member and yet they live happy marriages. I don’t understand why we couldn’t do the same.
Michele Colón went as far as lying and deceiving her then husband into an involuntary “cult expert” counseling session. Under these circumstances, who can have a healthy relationship? The more we hear his story, the more we can understand that, contrary to what Ms. Colón wants people to think, she created an unbearable environment for her husband.

Wow once again I can see there is no evidence in how the church “so called ruined her marriage” (quote on quote) in reality she’s the one that that caused her marriage to fail and then she tried to get counseling from a cult expert, which by the way there is no such thing as a cult expert nor was he a marriage counselor. it so sad to to see what she is doing and how she lied and deceived to her then husband. I still can’t understand her claim against the church.
-
I can tell the church really did not do anything to their marriage. Even though the member wanted to live happily married with her whether she stayed or not she tried to manipulate him to stop going even lying to him that it was real marriage counseling. I would feel the same way as the member instead of fighting and keep going to underground ” marriage counselors” I would rather spend my time on something joyful. Everything is being revealed little by little.

Wow I’m sorry to say this but what a terrible wife! No wonder they got divorced! She sounds mentally obsessed. Definitely not a normal behavior. With all due respect… It seems she needs professional help. I hope God helps her relax and overcome herself. I know this country has a lot of un-diagnosed mental illness.
-
I Agree, She Has No Legitimate Reason To Have A Problem With him or his belief. She should have just supported him and allowed him to be happy. She definitely seems to be a little mentally and emotionally unstable

I didn’t see this coming! This whole time she said she was deceived but the truth is she’s trying to deceive her husband into leaving the church. Her ex-husband’s story is proving the deception behind the claims she is making against the WMSCOG. It was clearly her intolerable actions that caused the divorce, not the Church of God.
-
Wow that’s crazy! The deeper the story gets the more clearly we can see the untrustworthiness of Michele’s side of the story. It’s so sad that her ex husband had to go through so much pain and deception even though he was the one that was actively trying to still make their marriage work. I truly hope that now that the truth has come out people can open their eyes and finally see the reality…
-
Wow… Michele accuses the Church of deceit because she deceived her ex-husband to get him out of the Church. That’s really unfortunate. She blames the Church of God for ruining her marriage when she was the one who did that all on her own…
And these so called “cult expert” are liars. I’ll even go to the extent of calling them criminals who play with the lives of people as if it were a game. They should be charged with kidnapping!
-
As the story unfolds, the truth is exposed more more clearly than ever. Michele’s efforts were not pure. She had absolutely no reason to bother her then husband about his beliefs. The fact that she would lie about who she brought her husband to talk to about their marriage is really low. How would anyone feel after that? As the story of what happened to them progresses, we can clearly see all of the efforts from then husband to try to keep their marriage pure despite her in differences. I am thankful that this side of the story is being exposed so people have a fair chance to see for themselves the credibility of the World Mission Society Church of God.

IF she really loved him she would respect her husband faith , all the drama of this woman is making is caused by her own insecurities and mental problems and she found the easy way to BLAME ON OTHERS when in reality she was the one who made him runaway , who can stand and trust a person who act like that
-
Wow I’m just so shocked that she has the nerve to blame this separation from her husband on the church. Anyone’s spouse who would pull something like that would also want to leave them! How can you trust someone like that and want to have a family with them? No wonder he left her.
The sad part is, even though she slandered and tried to get him to leave the first time, Father and Mother had sooooo much mercy on her and allowed her to come back! She even studied everything all over again and STILL left and tried to force him to leave. I’m so thankful for this article. It will show many the truth behind this situation and then no one else will be deceived by her fabrications of the Church of God! To anyone having difficulty in faith, please study the Bible and don’t listen to what people say they think they know about us. -
This is where the relationship went wrong. She told her husband they were meeting with a marriage counselor who turned out to be a “cult expert.” Even after all the arguments and problems they had before, Her husband was willing to make the marriage work. He must have really loved her. But, what he wasn’t willing to do was to be lied to and subjected to involuntary counseling. Aren’t there laws against that?
-
Wow! Even after all of her manipulation- she is still trying to say The Church is a cult. However, Michele does the unthinkble and lures him into a trap-hmmm sounds familiar to me. She could have just taken the way to just understand and respect his views, but again she caused her marrige to be in ruin by betrying his trust.
-
How deceiving! How could he ever remain with her in such horrible situations. What awfully strange environments she put him in with people who only wanted money for their so-called “professions.” The thing that I found amazing is how God allowed her even to come back to study all over again, even after continuously poisoning herself with that Internet filth.
-
Wow… can anyone explain the “cult-like” behavior of self-proclaimed cult expert Rick Alan Ross?
It sounds like the hours of “deprogramming” that took place at that location can be called “brainwashing.”
I think the reasonable questions that the former husband asked them; i.e.: ‘where is the evidence of the rich and lavish lifestyles of the church leaders?’, put that whole session in it’s place: an evil deception.
How can you call a church that is commended for it’s excellent bible studies and good deeds a cult but then feel comfortable in a place like that?
-
As the story continues to unfold we can see how she has manipulated to the situation for own benefit. She destroyed her own marriage, a marriage that lasted longer then it should have with the behavior she was portraying. Her husband was encouraged by the church to make efforts to workout it out but she was never going to be satisfied. Her goal was always against the church, but just as she failed in her marriage she will fail in attacking the church.
-
Wow- if you disagree with your spouse’s beliefs, wouldn’t you still respect them because you love them and want them to be happy? It’s true- I know of many members where their spouses are not members, but they love them so much they respect them for their beliefs and don’t try to hold them back. For her to go to such an extreme as to deceive her husband to go to a self acclaimed “cult expert” truly shows this was not an act of love but an act of selfishness and wanting her husband all to herself. This really has nothing to do with the church! Instead of people thinking of the church because of her lies, tumors, and deceptions, I really hope everyone around the world will see the wonderful works of the Church of God that is inspired by the true Almighty God!!
