Following the direction of other "cults", the WMSCOG has unfortunately taken over college campuses in America. In this episode we spoke with Paul, a university student who is currently working on raising awareness about the WMSCOG's manipulative practices on campus. We are so grateful for people like Paul who were never members but help us in speaking out. We appreciate your work.

On this episode of Playing in Traffic we are joined by Jordan Martino who now lives in Saudi Arabia. Her WMSCOG journey started in 2009 when she was just 17 years old in New Jersey. The cult took advantage of her young age and controlled every aspect of her life. We are so glad she shared her story and has found freedom. Some parts of the audio are a little scratchy but we tried to keep all of the content in so bare with us on those parts. We were speaking across the world to each other.
