Summary
CW: Mentions of CSA, SA, ED & Suicide Ideation. Sochil Martin was born and raised in the worldwide church known as La Luz del Mundo. At age 9 she started to become groomed to be a concubine to the Apostle who was their living prophet on Earth. Her own aunt took her to him, because that’s what had happened to her and her family as young girls. They were not only expected to comply, it was considered a great blessing to be chosen and used. They were then considered an “unconditional” which meant their life was not their own and all choices would be made by the Apostle, including who they would eventually marry. However, even after marriage, the SA would not end. It wasn’t until Sochil’s husband rang the alarm that what was happening was not ok, that Sochil realized her adolescence was a horrible lie. Sochil then went on to help put some of the leadership in jail which will be covered in a livestream with her.

| 0:00.0 | Good morning, everyone. Welcome back to Colsta Consciousness. I guess morning, depending on where you are in the world, we're central time. |
| 0:06.6 | But we have a guest tuning in from Mexico, actually, and we'll talk about why. |
| 0:11.2 | We just did an interview with her talking about La Luce del Mundo, and she grew up in that group. |
| 0:16.9 | The apostle was basically collecting young, female, they called concubines or spiritual brides, |
| 0:24.7 | and she helped take them down, or at least some of the leaders. |
| 0:28.5 | So we're going to talk about how she did that because we didn't get to that in her interview. |
| 0:31.8 | If you haven't watched it, you can go back after this and check it out and talk about what she's |
| 0:36.2 | doing now in Mexico to further the cause |
| 0:39.1 | and the advocacy work. So thank you so much for joining us. So Chil Martin. Thank you so much for |
| 0:43.9 | having me again and for having these platforms available for survivors like us to be able to speak |
| 0:50.1 | about what's happening in a world where these types of organizations can, well, have been |
| 0:57.6 | able to get away with so much for so long until survivors like yourself and others like us, |
| 1:04.8 | we say, that's not what's happening to our kids. And this is enough. And here we are. |
| 1:12.0 | Yeah. |
| 1:12.7 | So you've been doing so much work since leaving. |
| 1:16.7 | And at the end of your interview, we left off where you're married, you're finally like, |
| 1:22.4 | okay, I don't think I believe this anymore. |
| 1:24.6 | This doesn't feel right. |
| 1:25.4 | Your husband was waving all the red flags. |
| 1:28.0 | Like, no, this doesn't feel right because the apostle had been continuously, I guess I can use |
| 1:35.5 | the word abusing you until you were already married and with a child. And so your husband found |
| 1:42.2 | out, he's like, no, no, no, we're not doing this. This is crazy. |
