Comments on: Travolta's Son Dies In Accident

Jett, 16, Had Disease That May Have Caused Seizure At Vacation Home

free country still is the usa. post what you want it is an individual''s choice to read what you post or not. nothing is forever especially life for any creature on this planet. people die of any age, and death does not discriminate as we all must die sooner or later. no one gets out of life alive. some of us posting, reading here will be dead by the end of the year. such is life. jett just had to go sooner than most while others go later than most. but, make no mistake we all must go no matter your race, color, religion, creed, rich, poor, famous, nobody, etc. the common denominator for all living creatures is final death. end of story. deal with it.

There are just so many pathetic people in this world. If it isn''t bad enough that people walk around with such sick views, but then to turn around and post them for everyone to read, especially the people that are the ones personally suffering and going through the loss without even considering for one moment what it would be like to suffer such a traggedy.

No matter what, we live in a country where we are given the freedom to have our own beliefs, but yet when they are different from your own you jump on here and start talking *** about these people on a personal level. Who gives a *** what their religious choices are, the fact is that they are human beings that have suffered the loss of a child and if all you have are insults at least have the common courtesy or at least the common sense to keep it to yourself or discuss privately with others that share your views.

Obviously whatever their religious background is, I''m sure that they don''t feel someone, especially their own child should go without proper medication when it is needed. If anyone remembers when Hurricane Katrina happened and our wonderful president was taking tours of damaged areas from the sky, John and his wife flew in with their own plane and handed out medical supplies personally to those in need. There religion wasn''t an issue then for them or the people in need.

WOW! Judge not, lest ye be judged! I have never once heard Kelly or John Travolta stand in judgement of other peoples choices of relegion, health or medications. They are Scientologist but that does not mean they left Jett untreated. I am a nurse. Seizures can be fatal, even for people who are properly medicated. If their choices somehow played a part in his death then no judgement from the public could hold a candle to the personal hell these two will endure for a lifetime. It is obvious he was deeply loved and will be sorely missed. My deepest sympathy goes to the entire Travolta family.

[mariahwelch]

I have memories when John Travolta would go on talk shows, like Letterman, etc., during his son''s first years and how sweet he spoke of Jett. It''s a sin that love should have to be explained to some of the commenters here. And grief.

[mrvolleyba11]

Can you say Scientology cover up? may the great L Ron Hubbard welcome Jett to the planet xenon (or whatever planet it is) with open arms! ...since they actually don''t worship a god.

pay for some more of your scientology classes and everything will be okay, just remember the depression you are feeling is false and just in your mind!!!

[irconcerned]

I surrender..........but my heart absolutely goes out to the family. I cannot begin to understand what they''re going through right now. My commentary is off.

You can thank the mindless, irresponsible & stupid Church of Scientology for this. And the Travolta''''s were hopelessly willing dupes. What is wrong with these Hollywood brains? Pathetic ...

What an irresponsible statement. We know almost nothing of the son''s illness or the care provided by his parents over the years for his condition. People hsve seizures and they sometimes result in a fatal result. A grocery store clerk had an epileptic seizure in front of me and could easily have banged his head on the hard floor. I held his head in my lap until he came out of the seizure. It turns out that he has seizures on a regular basis regardless of the medication he takes. It is pathetic when people jump to conclusions with little or no knowledge about a person''s condition.

To downtowner97

Couldn''t agree more......

[downtowner97]

CBS should take extra care to edit posts on stories about people losing their children. Sympathy is the only appropriate response here. John Travolta loved his son. We don''t know either of them. We can only imagine the pain this family is feeling.

Life is short.. Live like it''s yoor LAST DAY..

[irconcerned]

Fair enough. I''m sure that''s the point sevenveils was trying to convey. I can understand how he/she was putting aside their religious beliefs to support the family. Thanks for clarifying!

[onlythereal-]

I love John Travolt and my heart goes out to his entire family. Why cant you just have compassion for him without dragging his beliefs into it.

[kno-1]

To IRconcerned,
I too support your thought process. It doesn''t matter IMO what religion or philosophy someone has. The poor boy is passed and indeed the family is grieving. As people we have sent our best wishes. However, that does not remove the fact that after condolences are sent, questions & concerns by informed individuals are indeed out there and should be discussed.
We don''t speak here on this board as Catholics, Hebrews, Reformists, Islamists or any other race, gender, religion etc. We are all speaking here on this forum as feeling and (hopefully) knowledgeable individuals in search of understanding, clarification, catharsis and information.

What a heart-breaker. He''s in a better place.

I just did some quick medical research on Kawasaki Disease

...seizures aren''t apart of the symptoms/worsened conditions of KD. But in certain forms of autism it is. A neurological disorder that "doesn''t exist" in Scientology.

Can any Scientologists out there tell me, how does one treat the "degraded" as L. Ron describes them? Does auditing and removing thetans work with the "degraded"? Or is there a form of Detox that needs to occur?

[irconcerned]

To sevenveils;

Why so judge-mental? I''m Catholic but I can certainly put aside my feelings to support the family.

[sevenveils]

Sad, but avoidable. Belief in false values and religion such as spiritual healing and controlling how many aliens control your body, all the while ignoring solid science in medicine will always lead to catastrophic results for ones whose needs are beyond faith.

[gea_amicus]

surreal64, this is for you:

What slimy rock did you crawl out from? Rather than express some sympathy for the Travolta''s great loss, all you can offer is a comment about scientology?

What is it that has made you devoid of any human decency, not even a shred? You are one sick person!

[irconcerned]

Does anyone else think b4ucmyI and surreal64 are the same person? I''m seeing a pattern.

My heart goes out to the Travolta family.

[troutfisher4]

Very sad. Way too young.
