scientology has a problem with members that turn ill or their kids dying of illnesses. they kind of “promise” that being within that sect you will not turn ill, because you are a chosen person.
here in europe there are some semi prominent cases who turned their back on them after they got seriously ill and kinda fell of grace with the sect. probably because they could not pay their fees to the cult and needed it for medical treatment. scientology always goes for very insecure and often abused people, but i hope that even john travolta, who always seemed to be a veeeery insecure person, sees how they simply rip him off.

Once you have sacrificed your son……….of course you are in for life.

if he didn’t reject the church’s opinions of psych disorders when Jett was young and his issues began to appear

if he didn’t reject the church’s opinions when Jett got older and his issues became more apparent and less controllable

if he didn’t reject the church’s opinions when he could have maybe possibly done something or sought different treatments

he’s not going to reject the churches opinions now.

If it is his belief, it is his belief.
People believe all kinds of stuff. People believe in God, people believe in reincarnation, people believe aliens have been here, people believe aliens don’t exist. They believe they can be healed by touching a rock, having ‘hands laid on’, visiting a sacred site, eating lemons, eating dinosaur bones.

If you believe it, then it’s true for you. Whether anyone else believes it or not.

I highly doubt a man who did not ? when his son was young is going to ? when his son is dead. He will find comfort in his religion now.
I also doubt a father as loving as John appeared to be with Jett would blithely follow someone else’s rules in regards to helping his son (as he did) if he did not believe in the preaching.

I also doubt that if he did not believe.if he thought the was another way, a better way to treat his son. That something as insignificant as a few dark secrets, no matter, would have stopped him from going the other route.

it’s not just Scientology. there are many mophed religions that have been the ruin of many.

God did not intend the damage that man had made in the fabrication of their own “religious” rules.

its hurts to see such sad stories.

I’m shocked the Travoltas even bothered to comment at all. Is one’s religion so important that it is essential the entire world not suspect differently?

While it’s absolutely true that a great tragedy can cause people to question religion, just as many times it can cause a person to seek solace and be brought deeper into the faith. I’m guessing with Travolta it’s the latter. Scientologists seem like the sort of people who know how to take advantage of a person’s vulnerability.

The piece sounded like it was written in a very respectful vein… but regardless, after such a great loss, shouldn’t a person be sort of untouchable, tabloid-wise?

For a religion that doesn’t believe in psychology, they certainly rely heavily on it when using it as a threat tactic. Psychological warfare is what they’re best at.

My heart breaks for John and Kelly, and I really hope they heal and come to terms with the loss of their precious son. And that they give Scientology a good kick in the arse in the process. I so want to see the day that Scientology is brought to it’s knees.

Such unimaginable heartbreak for all involved, in so many ways if the rumors that circulate are true. My heart goes out to all of them.
