Back in July, the 55-year-old actor denied reports claiming he was abandoning Scientology following the death of his son Jett. But now, he’s keeping quiet and refuses to comment on his relationship with the church.
Tory Christman, an outspoken Scientology critic who left after more than 30 years in the organization told The Daily Beast that Travolta’s admittance of Jett having autism was a sure sign he’d be leaving the church.
“My hope for him is that he starts looking” at what really happened, she said. “He’ll reach the right decision… I just don’t want him to be used by the church. It’s horrible he lost his son but change something. He’s a guy who could really make a difference.”
Christman, who is epileptic, said the institution has little tolerance for chronic conditions and pushed her to stop her medication and use vitamins and supplements instead. The first time she cut back on her medications, she had a grand mal seizure in her bathroom and knocked out her front teeth. She says she resumed her medication but tried to stop again in the face of continued objections from the church– and again faced disastrous results.
Tommy Davis, a spokesman for Scientology, denounced former Scientologists who are critical of the church as “liars,” adding, “It’s a horrific, horrific thing for these people to take the tragic death of a young boy and try to turn it on his parents’ religion.”

If Joihn quits this scam of a “church” he’ll have a lot more money in his pocket. IF if he had acted earlier he’d still have a son. Thanks L Ron. You money sucking jerk.

This “religion” John follows is no more than another successful cult promising everything and delivering nothing! Many people are so easily swayed by snake oil salesman. Seek Jesus Christ! His promises are true till the end of days! God bless you John; and your family!
