Early “Promo” Picture Of John and Kelly
One of Hollywood’s big questions right now is whether John Travolta is having serious doubts about Scientology. Added to that question now is his future with wife Kelly Preston. They are having a very difficult time dealing with the loss of their son Jett who passed away this past January. I don’t think anyone ever gets over a death of someone that is near and dear to their hearts, and healing from a tragedy such as this can prove to be both exhausting and devastating.It is especially hard to function after a death if you are always under the microscope of paps and fans. But that is part of the package deal of being famous.
It was just announced that John and Kelly have backed out of being part of the Maria Shriver’s Annual Women’s Conference this October, due to Kelly saying they were just not ready to speak out about their son’s death. Totally understandable. This cancellation was only one of many signs that their son’s death has really taken a huge toll on them.
But is it more of a toll for John than Kelly? John was too distraught to promote his most recent movie Pelham 123, and he has been seen recently packing on the pounds. But really who can blame him for wanting some comfort food?
Star Magazine, although not the most reliable or credible source for news, to say the least, just reported that John has been staying in bed most days, visiting Denny’s restaurant at 3 AM, and watching videos of son Jett and crying. All very normal behavior after a loss, as long as it doesn’t consume one’s life. Star is also reporting that John and Kelly are not staying together at the moment. Separation is not abnormal for many couples that have lost a child. It’s a common occurrence.
But what is a normal for Scientologists when it comes to grieving and death? As we have mentioned before in earlier articles, Scientology is not “too big” on death. They consider their bodies only as ”meat bodies” and that they will reincarnate and come back many many times. Grieving as well as many other emotions associated with death are deemed extremely low on the Scientology Tone Scale.
Scientology claims that emotions such as these can be handled and removed by counseling and auditing on an e-meter. (which is basically a lie detector)
But why? Why should NORMAL emotions be swept away? Anyone with half a brain knows that grieving and depression is a big part of healing, and to suppress it, can be a very slippery slope. If someone blocks these emotions, it may manifest itself in a bigger and much more harmful way down the road.
But suppression is one of Scientologys’ specialties among its followers. According to Scientologists, all answers to life’s problems lie within the teachings of Scientology’s founder, the late L. Ron Hubbard.
Hubbard, a quack sci-fi writer, con man, and scam artist taught his followers that a person would be considered “out ethics” if they didn’t handle those emotions. Hubbard considered these emotions weaknesses, and if a member does not handle these emotions and get them under control, then that person is labeled a “PTS” or potential troubled source. To make it even sillier, things such as colds, headaches, injuries, or any other health problems, can also cause yo to be labeled a PTS.
What if someone is exhibiting mental problems? Well, they simply don’t exist according to Hubbard, and he also stated that anyone with a mental problem is a degraded being. Which really did not make a whole lot of sense to me, due to the fact that if mental problems don’t exist according to Scientology, then how do degraded beings exist? *scratches head*
Simple, because Scientologists are conditioned and taught to believe and accept whatever they are told according to Hubbard’s teachings, even though the contradictions are rampant.
How did Hubbard feel about homosexuals? He considered them perverts and that they should be cast from society and institutionalized.
In Hubbard’s own words from HIS actual babblings from the Science of Survival, Book 1, Chapt. 13, at 90.
“Such people should be taken from the society as rapidly as possible and uniformally institutionalized; for here is the level of the contagion of immorality, and the destruction of ethics;”
But then Scientology offers an alternative, from the same babblings from Science of Survival Book 1, Chapt. 13, at 89:
“The only answers would seem to be the permanent quarantine of such persons from society to avoid the contagion of their insanities and the general turbulence which they bring to any order, thus forcing it lower on the scale, or processing such persons until they have attained a level on the tone scale which gives them value.”
So according to Hubbard, a person who is gay should be quarantined and that their insanities (gay) are contagious to other people in society, and they can only have value if they are processed through Scientology and then and only then they can attain a level that is on their Tone Scale. So… did Hubbard think gays should be removed from society and institutionalized? Or they should be “processed”? Well, which was is it?
Both are beyond deplorable, and how anyone can follow and pay for these teachings, makes my blood boil.
I can only imagine how John must feel about all this wacky mumbo jumbo rolling around his brain which makes no sense what so ever. As far as Kelly goes, I am a bit confused about how she is handling her grief. I think she accepts just about anything she is told through Scientology’s teachings more so then John. I am not saying that she is not as distraught over her son’s death, I just think that she is handling it the “Scientology way” and erasing the feelings of grief and guilt and is moving on a lot faster than John. Of course one parent being able to move on faster than the other after a child’s death, is also normal. Especially for the fact that there can be a much more deep rooted connection between a son and father and mother and daughter or vise versa. It’s just that Scientology’s methods of “healing” are not only harmful, but down right despicable, as they charge you to “heal”. Keep in mind, you are not really healing, you are blocking and suppressing your normal emotions.
Although Kelly did cancel the upcoming Conference this October, she was recently seen out with Miley Cyrus for dinner and chatting about an up coming movie they will be working on together called The Lost Song. Not too long ago Miley also did the movie Bolt with John. Careful Miley.. the cult would love to get their hands on your oodles of cash! You don’t want to achy break Billy Ray’s heart!
I certainly hope that John has had some recent epiphanies or at least some serious seeds of doubt with the passing of his son, and questions the teachings hog wash of Scientology.
Taking his son off anti seizure medication was not favored by many of the general public and many thought that it was the wrong move, and made John and Kelly partly or totally responsible for the death of their son. Many believe that Jett should have been put on some other medciation immediately, rather than being put on Scientology’s Purification Rundown. The anti seizure medication, Depakote that Jett was taking is a psyche drug and totally unacceptable for a Scientologist. So unacceptable that some Scientologists considered John and Kelly as SP’s (suppressive people). Although some Scientologists would argue that Depakote is not a pysche drug.
As you may or many not know, Scientology’s considers ANY psychiatric drugs an abomination. Which is one of the reasons why many Scientologists die way too early in life from many different afflictions. (even though their “clears” aren’t supposed to have any afflictions) Fact both John and Kelly are listed as clears.
So why then are John and Kelly having so many problems? Because Scientology simply doesn’t work.
Now I don’t agree on the over drugging of children or anyone for that matter, and I think their is WAY too much drugging going on with both children and our senior citizens. But some people need certain medications to help them cope with their every day existence. Plain and simple.
So you can understand why there was such a turmoil with John and Kelly’s lives with having a child that was autistic. You see both Kelly and John are a very big advocates of the CCHR. The Citizen’s Commission On Human Rights. Their title is laughable considering Scientology’s total disregard for any of their member’s human rights.

The CCHR is one of Scientology’s many front groups which has a global plan for the total obliteration of psychiatry and psyche drugs. Videos have surfaced of current Scientology cult leader David Miscavige at an IAS (International Association of Scientologists) boasting about this obliteration of psychiatry and quoted in the video saying that Scientology,
”booby trapped the whole psychiatric ecosystem”.
I kid you not. If you haven’t watched it, it is worth the watch. Click here and be horrified. This video is VERY scary, and you have to wonder how it is legal for them to go after psychiatrists and have their licenses revoked and then celebrate about it. To hear the people cheering in the audience about Miscavige’s speech is reminiscent of Hitler.
Speaking of Hitler, in Scientology’s own words from their CCHR website they claim:
“Psychiatrists admit they created the euthanasia program and ideology that fueled Hitler’s holocaust.”
Yes, you can go view all their wonderful Scientology fabricated “facts” and disturbing pictures of the holocaust at their Psychiatry An Industry of Death exhibit in California or their traveling exhibit. I would hope if this exhibit is scheduled to come to your town, you write to your town officials and put a stop to it.
Just One Of Many Horrific Pictures Inside the CCHR Exhibit
Both John and Kelly as well as BFF Kirstie Alley and other Scientology celebutards were present for the ribbon cutting for the permanent exhibit in California. Don’t get me wrong, I am not a big fan of psychiatry for the most part, but again, some people desperately need it and have greatly benefited by it. I have yet to see any ACTUAL benefits from Scientology that was worth what they paid.
Back to the CCHR…
What makes the CCHR even more disturbing is a group called the Office of Special Affairs aka OSA which is funded by donations to the CCHR. They are a group of “thugs” whose job is to dig into the private lives of any critics AND psychiatrists. They will do all and everything to Fair Game anyone is who is critical of Scientology, or ex Scientologists that have left and spoke out by harassment and “dead agenting”them.
But wait it gets worse….
Both Kelly and John where also in Hawaii some years back to promote Narconon, which again, is another big Scientology front group.
Narconon’s program, consists of people enduring long hours of saunas which goes on for days. They ingest large amounts of oil and are required to do excessive amounts of exercise.They also must take large doses of niacin “vitamin bombs” which Scientology believes rids the body of all toxins. This method is also used for supposed drug rehabilitation and has been funded by towns of taxpayers not knowing it had ties to Scientology.
This treatment which is called the Purification Rundown, (as I mentioned earlier) is also used in their other front group program Criminon in some jail systems. All the same program, all using the Scientology Tone Scale, with the same regiment of saunas,vitamins and exercise. The only difference is Scientology using different front group names to deceive and confuse. More disturbing, is that this program is being administered by non professional people and has never been medically proven to work, and has been called quackery by many REAL doctors. It also can be quite dangerous to the liver. Thus the numerous court cases which have popped up and continue to come.
Believe it or not, they had the NY Firefighters on this program after 9/11. Tom Cruise was even there with the firefighters. Of course Scientology snuck in under the name the NY Rescue Workers Detoxification Project. Pretty sneaky huh?
Desperate people on drugs seeking help and town officials who do not do their homework can be convinced that this program works by their trumped up success numbers and trumped up testimonies. They were kicked out of a town in New Mexico last year, and left in the middle of the night and still owe over $600,00.00 in tax liens and 17,000 to the city for unpaid rent and utilities. Not to mention they released several dangerous inmates back into town. Of course they were going under the pseudo name of ”Second Chance”, but they were just another Scientology front group which was run by Scientologist and jewelry hawker Joy Westrum. How she is walking around a free women is beyond me.
So again… what does all this and the Purification Rundown have to do with John and Kelly? They put their son Jett on the same program hoping it would cure him.
I have asked this question before… how difficult would it be for a person to put a child with special needs on this rundown? I don’t understand how they were able to get Jett, who was obviously autistic through this exhausting and long treatment. It makes no sense at all. Anyone who has an autistic child can attest to the difficulties that would arise in trying to make an autistic child or any child for that matter, endure this treatment. It would be not only cruel for the child, but damn near impossible in some cases without the child being held down or drugged. No questions where ever asked pertaining to this treatment that John and Kelly admittedly put their son Jett on. I find that very puzzling.
Could it be that Scientology is still considered a “religion” in the US and the Government stays clear of “religious beliefs” ? Well yes, that’s a big part of it.Yet another reason why Scientology has been able to fly under the radar so long by using religion as a cloak to hide under. But when it comes to people being harmed, shouldn’t they be stepping in? Yes they should, and then the question is, what the heck are they waiting for?
So why did John insist that his son had Kawasaki disease instead of autism in the first place? Because Scientology does not recognize autism. John finally admitted his son’s autism when Jett was rushed to the hospital the morning of his death, but that report did not surface until months later. The actual Royal Bahama police report surfaced in the news and it contained John’s statement to the police which said:
”My son suffered from a seizure disorder and he was autistic”.
Scientology’s response to Jett’ death was too quickly get John and Kelly ”handled” and into counseling and auditing ASAP. (of course on John and Kelly’s dime) I find all of this beyond despicable and further proof that Scientology is the furthest thing from a “church” as you can get.
One would think the sheer quackery of Scientology must have left John with some huge questions and feelings of guilt for adhering to the cult’s teachings in dealing with not only with Jett’s problems when he was alive, but also dealing with his own grief after his death.
To further complicate things, is the big question of John’s sexuality. It’s not a secret that many people believe that John is gay and has been living on the DL for many years, and that his marriage to Kelly was “arranged” to take the heat off him. Not only for his career, but also for the fact of Scientology’s beliefs on gays.
When it was reported and photographed that John was seen kissing his son Jett’s nanny on the lips, it was not kept secret for very long, and it was never denied. In fact Travolta’s spokesperson said it did happen and that John is VERY friendly and he kisses everybody. Ok, but why would it be appropriate for an employer to kiss their child’s nanny? And where are all the other pictures of him kissing all these other people?
Hey don’t get me wrong, I could care less if John is gay. I wish he would come out and tell the world, and I would welcome it. And I am sure many of his fans feel the same way. Deep down inside I think that John is a caring, decent man that got tied up in this cult back in 1975 when it wasn’t AS corrupt as it is today with current leader David Miscavige running the show. (however it was always a huge sham)
One of many of the disturbing things with Scientology is, is that your life is an open book. Any secrets you may want to keep about your personal life gets revealed through Scientology’s auditing. They have your entire life on file and kept in your “PC” folder. It contains all your very personal information including anything and everything sexual. And as recently reported, Scientology has no qualms about making your private information public. As we witnessed in the recent Scientology edition of their Freedom Magazine which was a beyond laughable rebuttal to the three part series of the St. Petersburg Times articles.
The SP Times, (as called by Scientology) reported about four top executives that left Scientology and spoke out about beatings administered by cult leader David Miscavige and the emotional and physical abuse of other members that they witnessed. I certainly hope both Kelly and John got a chance to read it. I would imagine that Kelly refused to read it though. It was full of Scientology spin and called the four defectors that left Scientology comic book charachter names like The Adulteress and so on. It was written with he said/she said, high school mentality. If Scientology was trying to make themselves look credible with their latest issue of Freedom magazine, then they failed miserably.

Maybe the outing of the defector’s files was a warning to other Scientology members as a scare tactic of what Scientology is capable of doing if you should leave and speak out. One can’t blame John for being scared. It’s a pity in ANY religion that someone would have to be afraid of their own “church”. Especially one that you have dumped millions of dollars into like John and Kelly.
So between John and Kelly’s grief over their son, John’s supposed sexual preference and all their deep dark secrets, and fear of repercussions from the cult, Scientology has them by the short hairs to say the least. Let’s just hope they can snap out of it and come forward and lift the burden from their hearts and not let Scientology continue to rule and ruin their lives.
Sadly, I don’t think Kelly is willing to let go of Scientology, unless the cult totally crumbles, and even if it did, she would probably become a Freezoner in my opinion. (groups of people who still practice Scientology, but not in the “church” under Miscavige) Perhaps Kelly’s strong ties to Scientology may be part of the reason for their current separation. ( if in fact the Stars magazine’s story has any integrity at all)
It’s a tough pill to swallow, isn’t it?
Scientology’s beliefs and actions are SO archaic and secretive, it’s hard to believe that this goes on today. Which oddly is another reason why they continue to get away with it. Some people and the media included think that these things can’t possibly be happening. And some are afraid to speak out about Scientology due to their litigious nature, which makes Scientology’s veil of secrecy continue.
That’s why we continually report what is going on in Scientology land, because people have to be made aware of these atrocities.
Times are changing for the better though and more and more people are coming forward with their stories. In a previous article we mentioned a list of ex scientologists that have spoken out. That list is now over 600 names listed on the Why We Protest Wiki. The names tell sad tales of just how corrupt an organization Scientology is.
The list will only continue to grow and grow as more people step into the light and join others and say, I have my life back . I am happier than ever and I want to share my story with the world and help others!
So John, we have told you before….
If by chance you are reading this, I am sure your fans are waiting with open arms John. You can be a hero. You can save other Scientology members from a life of misery, financial ruin and also save some lives. Put an end to Scientology’s ruthless abuse and family disconnection of it’s Sea Org members too.You can write a tell all book and sky rocket your career.
You can help Scientology members get the medical help they so desperately need to live longer and healthier lives.
If not for yourself John, do it for your son Jett.

Although nobody knows yet if John will decide to stay in the cult, one thing is for certain…
as long as he stays with Scientology, he will never be free.
For help leaving Scientology, or just for someone to talk to, call 1-866-XSEAORG, this is a toll free call.
While Kris is plenty talented, cute and likable, he’s not even in the same universe as good a singer as Adam Lambert, but sadly, because Adam is gay and not afraid to show it, I think in the end it hurt him, as much as Carrie Prejean’s ignorant comments at the Miss USA pageant hurt her.
