    if this turns out to be true, how will the travoltas/cruises of the scientology world ever cope with this? how will kelly preston be able to keep drinking the kool-aid?

    my heart breaks. truly.

    Nice job, NY Post, with the present-tense description of Jett's inability to read or play sports.

    Assholes.

    There was a case a few years ago in Clearwater where a woman died in the care of the cult.

    Rolling Stone had a decent story a few years back.

    Well, L. Ron Hubbard can now take care of Jett Travolta.

    This one made me sick to my stomach.

    I must admit, I did wonder if Scientology might have played a role in the way the kid was diagnosed. Either way, the NY Post could have found a better way to address that in the story.

    Awful, awful news...

    RIP. Prayers to the family.

    One of my brothers (the crazy one discussed on another thread) has epilepsy. Even with medication, it isn't always able to be controlled, esp. when you're a teenager.

    It's just very sad, regardless.

    Blogger called death in 2007. Yes, this is real.

    Anyone else find it odd that if the kid supposedly had a caretaker just for him, it took them that long to find him?

    Sorry, my bullshit meter is going off the charts right now.

    Call me a Doubting Thomas (or whatever the equivalent is in Scientology), but I want proof that page was made in 2007.
