Michele Colon claims that the World Mission Society Church of God (WMSCOG) is a “doomsday cult” that “brainwashed” her and ruined her marriage in a recent article at People.com. Is her claim correct? In conclusion, she is incorrect about the WMSCOG.
Firstly, even the Supreme Court repeatedly ruled that “the insistence that the Church of God spreads a time-limited eschatology and causes families to break up is false.” Please see this article at the Cult Research Center.
Please also refer to this article titled “Supreme Court rules that no evidence supports the allegation of family breakup by the Church of God (Case no. 2006Do1356).”

Secondly, her claim that the Church of God ruined her marriage is also a lie. On the contrary, the Church tried to help her to continue the marriage. It’s Michele Colon who ruined her marriage. Please see the following posts where you can read the story of her ex-husband:
- Michele Colon and the WMSCOG – PART I
- Michele Colon and the WMSCOG – Part Two
- Michele Colon and the WMSCOG – Part Three
- Michele Colon, Myself and the WMSCOG
- Attending Church Was Like Salsa Dancing
- Michele Colon Ruined Our Marriage Pt.3 – The True WMSCOG
- Michele Colon Ruined Our Marriage Pt. 4 – The True WMSCOG
From the story of Colon’s former spouse, you will realize that it was Michele Colon who destroyed her marriage.
Lastly, her insistence that the WMSCOG brainwashed her also does not make sense at all. It was also Colon who attended the Church first. Michele led her ex-husband to the Church. I am surprised at her claim about brainwashing by the Church of God. It’s very similar with the insistence of self-proclaimed “cult experts” such as Steven Hassan. Please watch the following video, which shows the lies of former members:
The following video shows that the criteria used by so-called cult experts are invalid:
The absolute criteria for decision should be the Bible not such man-made tools such as BITE mode of Steven Hassan.
The members of the World Mission Society Church of God (WMSCOG) do their best to follow the teachings of Elohim God — Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother. And they are willing to share love with neighbors to make the world better.
There are many churches around the world but we sometimes hear bad scandals about churches or pastors in media. However, through good deeds, the Church of God was awarded with the President’s Call to Service Award from Barack Obama (2011, 2014, 2015) as well as the Korean Presidential Citation Award (the highest award given to an organization in Korea.)

The WMSCOG obeys the teachings of God without adding to or removing from them. Some people spread malicious rumors against the Church of God. However, the courts repeatedly confirmed that their claims are incorrect. Moreover, due to good deeds of the members, the World Mission Society Church of God has received many awards including the Korean Presidential Citation Award.
I hope you will not be deceived the lies of critics. There is a saying “Seeing is believing”. Please come and see whether the WMSCOG is good or bad with your own eyes. As there is a saying “Seeing is believing”
I remember how I was when I am in the Presbyterian Congregation. Simply I was blind for I couldn’t see God’s sacrifices, I was heartless for I couldn’t feel God’s boundless Love, I was deaf for I couldn’t hear God’s calling and I was lame for I couldn’t follow God’s way since I was bound to follow mens ways but eversince I was being baptized in the truest Church The World Mission Society Church of God I became a new being a being who can see God’s Sacrifice, a being who can feel God’s Love, a being who can hear God’s calling, a being who can walk without fear and try to follow God’s Ways. There’s no more hatred within me. I just love my life more and more each since my life my breath is very precious to My God ;My Heavenly Father and Mother. Truly from the depth of my Heart I Give thanks to Heavenly Father and Mother I am overwhelmed with joy because God’s Love me.
we are not of the world,thats why the world hates us,its also a sign that what we believe in is nothing else but the real truth. let us endure up to the end!
We are the happiest people who are receiving eternal love from Elohim God Almighty in the world!
Please don’t be cheated by the slanderers’s lies.
I’m so sad to hear such things. But as prophesies of Bible, these things will definitely happen. And I fell much more grateful and thankful to Father and Mother who help me understand perfect truth in the Bible and keep my faith to the end.
Sometimes I couldn’t understand like that person Michele Colon. How could she accept the truths saying lies n malicious rumors? How poor she is !!
It’s very funny. Michele Colon led her ex-husband to the Church. Moreover, the Church tried to help her to maintain her marriage. Who broke up her marriage life? From the testimony of her former husband, it’s very clear that she herself broke up her marriage. Her claims are not different from those of so-called cult experts. However, as you see, even the Supreme court ruled that their claims are not fact. We should not listen to such absurd words. Instead, we should focus on the Bible.
That’s right. Focusing on the Bible is wise and important to our salvation. And the absolute method to know whether it is a cult or not is also the Bible not a woman’s saying.
She really has to stop spreading malicious rumors that don’t make any sense at all. Poor thing.
