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.. You know a zebra can’t hide it’s stripes.. If we were a church that makes a “god” that resembles a bunny and put offerings of eggs underneath it. Or even a god that resembles a tree and put offers of boxes wrapped in paper and bows and sing and dance around a tree.. If we were to do such a ludacris act as these.. Okay then maybe call us a cult. But we preach Christ, living God.. A stumbling block for many people like Michelle Colon who couldn’t receive the true Savior in this age.. They are the ones to call us a cult. And if you ask them. ‘Okay.. Where should I go then if not to the church of God?” The same people will then tell you one of three answers 1. Just believe Jesus in your heart 2. Go to a church that worships on sunday and keeps another act such as eucharist, communion, etc -which is not in the Bible OR 3. They themselves will be confused as to what to do as they have come to realize their previous faith isn’t fulfilling the requirements to receive salvation and have abandoned that faith.. Yet they Still Do NOT know where to go or how to find the truth. And -to all those who still are hesitant to come to Zion but want to read what everyone has to say- *hi, hello there :)* that is because they themselves cannot see nor hear God and they do not want you to see or hear God either.
Very unfortunate BUT please don’t determine your salvation on the basis of a few people’s thoughts.
Sadly as you see Michelle Colon dragged my brother to a “doctor” to deprogram him from the words of the Bible. -Sabbath worship, the Passover and believing in God who is now currently here with us in the flesh.
Truly so sad that she made so much effort to try to bring of of God’s children out of God’s dwelling place.
Please read Jeremiah 20:7-9 and the book of Acts. What has been will be again.
They slander what they don’t understand..
If you understand Sabbath and Passover are in the Bible and are true.. Please just start from there and little by little realize God who came in the flesh.

Yay part IV! It just goes to show who our true family is. Even being scrutinized for hours couldn’t break the faith of our brother! Some people just don’t want to believe. Not sure why Michele devotes so much time to try to shake the faith of our members. We can see clearly that true faith depends on God and not man.

Michele Colon could have saved herself the embarrassment of the truth of her relationship coming out, what does she expect to happen when she directly attacks and falsely accuses Gods church!!! To members of the church of God, God is not just an intangible entity, God is our Father and our Mother. Anyone who hears their Mother being slandered naturally defends and reveals the truth!!! She thought she could make a name for herself by coming out in the newspaper with her picture and slander but she is now just ruining her reputation, her lies are being revealed. It is uncomfortable for everyone to have to hear all of this but because of the things she decided to say, I can see why this article was released. I hope she realizes the destructive path she is walking and stops.

From reading this article, it seems to me like Michele was jealous of her husbands ” new found faith in God ” Her jealousy caused her own destruction of what it seems to be a great experience in the church as well as her marriage. It seems like a very unfortunate outcome for her. Her husband on the other hand seems to be happy in the church. Why must she destroy the happiness he found, that she herself introduced him to? But I guess its just easy to blame the organization rather than yourself. If Michele was honest with herself and her husband from the beginning she could have avoided so much drama. Poor choices.

Even after Michele had so many chances to change, she still chose the way of selfish hate. Everything she did was to fulfill her own desire to make her husband leave the WMSCOG. She even deceived her husband, using his love against him, to enter the house of a kidnapper. I am glad she did not succeed.

Wow.. After reading this, it is clear that the Church of God has absolutely NOTHING to do with her leaving. If anything it was all HER fault. That is why it is important to look at both sides of the story before making any judgment. The sad thing is, he tried, he made every effort to please her, even to the point of going to marriage counseling though he didn’t want to. But she still betrayed his trust by taking him to a “cult expert” instead. (By the way, there is NO degree for such thing. cult experts are people who put their OWN opinion on things that they have NO idea about). If she respected her husband or truly loved him, there is no way that she would’ve put him through all of that. How much more did she want from him? It is clear that no matter what he did, she wouldn’t have been satisfied until she got her way. Is that the way a marriage should be?
I am really thankful that this side of the story has come out. The Church of God is a truly amazing church. EVERYTHING that the church does is inspired by the teachings of Christ. I really hope that people do not believe the false rumors that are being put out about the Church of God, and come and see for themselves how beautiful and genuine the Church of God is.

Someone’s home should be a place where they have peace and can relax. Its so sad for someone to go home to chaos and abuse. The saddest part is that he was so devoted to his wife… even though she was acting obsessive, abusive and intolerant to what he was passionate about, he still loved her enough to give her so many chances and make it work… yet she wasn’t devoted enough to him to respect what he loved. She didn’t realize the value of her husband and instead made his life miserable because she didn’t get everything her way… marriage is about compromise and partnership. She knows nothing about that.

Really awesome article, where all the hidden details about the false accusations were exposed. Theres a few members I know of that the spouse does not attend the church and both are really happy, they accepted each others differences including their different faith. I’ve been in this Church for three years, and they don’t talk about marriage a lot, and when they are talking about it, it’s always encouraging like help each other out, be united, give in for each other. Truly the Church of God is not only an amazing Church becasue all the teachings are from the bible, but it is also the most amazing organization out there in my opinion, due to the way it handles itself, they way it treats the people in the church and also even all the volunteer and sincere work it does for all the people of the world. Come and study and see how amazing the church is. =]

Michelle that’s not right. To take your husband to a “cult expert”, it’s a lose-lose situation. By the way, I wonder what religion these cult experts follow. They call everything a “cult”, do they follow or obey God in any way?? How could you take advice or counseling from people like this?? Weird..
-
What a challenging situation to overcome! I am thankful that you are sharing your story and that the truth is being exposed.
-
I feel like Michele is the one who possesses cult-like characteristics! She lied, manipulated, and created fake scenes in an effort to remove the former husband from the WMSCOG!
She went way to far- employing a man who was known for kidnapping people in order to “De-program” the former husband! The WMSCOG did nothing but good things in order to help their relationship and lead them to God.
No matter what, The Light shines and breaks the darkness & Truth can never be concealed by lies. The WMSCOG has and will always bring The Truth & The Light. -
It’s actually kind of scary the lengths she went through just to make her husband leave. Maybe if she spent that time trying to understand her husband and respect his decision they would still be married. I hope that many people can realize that it is only the Church of God that would teach someone to have such patience and love for someone who had no respect for them.

My favorite part is when this self proclaimed “cult expert” said that the church was manipulating him in order to exploit him financially,but when asked to show proof of this, he had nothing to say. You shouldn’t make accusations without having evidence to back it up. What happens in a court of law when someone accuses someone of doing something, but doesn’t have ANY evidence to prove it? It gets thrown out. I hope that everyone who accuses the Church of God of wrongdoing will come to their senses and realize that the church operates 100% according to the teachings of the bible, and of Christ.

Michele needs to go to a relationship counselor herself, not our brother. Our brother has done nothing wrong, from what I see the root cause of this problem starts with Michele herself.

Wow, I’m so shocked. I’m not sure that if I were in a similar situation- that I could be as tolerant as the former husband. He really tried everything to make his marriage work. This is the side of the story that everyone needs to hear. He just wanted to keep his faith and his wife, but she made it- an impossible situation. It’s also odd how she- the one who initially invited him to Church, could turn so fiercely against him and the Church. It’s almost like it was her intention to make difficulties for both her husband and the Church. Thanks to God, everything is now unfolding. I believe God will be victorious in the end!!
