Hooray!
I was able to listen this time. I don't know why the audio files were inaccesible to me last week.
Astra, that was an excellent overview of many different topics. You really covered a lot of ground, and did it very well.
I found it interesting that you were somewhat taken aback when Parker asked you if Scn had any perqs or enjoyable aspects to it. So meeting JT briefly was about it for the perqs!
I was also glad that you debunked the notion that people can continue to practice their existing religions and Scn as well. That was something that was promised to me when I was recruited as a public member, and it was definitely a sore point with my parents. There was always pressure to be on course or in session, so I don't know how I could have remained active in my previous church while doing Scn.
I would encourage everyone to listen to this interview.
