76. No kidding.
The Scientologists only want you to sign away your soul to them for a few million years.
But the Mormons want you for "time and eternity". AND they want your money cash down in this lifetime.

78. I have to agree with # 43 , I never heard of cremating children. Why would they do such a thing? Perhaps to cover something up?

79. you know.. the cremation wasn't really that quick... he died when?.. last week?.. they cremated him yesterday.. that's not really that quick. my husband died on a wednesday and was cremated by friday... so actually they didn't jump the gun or anything.. the autopsy report came in.. everyone was satisified.. they cremated him.. end of story..
oh and by the way... those of you "demanding" answers.. and saying nasty things... if this was YOUR child.. i'm sure you would enjoy all the nasty speculation.. all the demands for autopsy reports.. all the accusations...if this was your child.. would YOU want to share the autopsy report with the world?. .just because they are celebrities.. that means they have to disclose EVERYTHING about their lives?...they deserve some privacy to grieve.. and to get thru this... whether you believe in their religion or not. .it's THEIR religion. .no one is telling you what to believe in.. and if they did.. you would be highly insulted and cry foul!.. after all..isn't it the freedom of religion the basis of the foundation of our country?
and so i end my rant on this note... so very sorry for their loss.. a parent should never outlive a child.. especially one so young...

80. While I am no fan of Scientology and have no desire to follow its teachings, I cannot believe how rude some of the comments are that I have read. The Travolta's have the right and freedom to follow whatever "religion" they want to as does everyone else in this country. Just because it does not match what you believe in should not make these people outcasts. Especially at a time like this. I would hope that none of us who have children will ever have to go through the pain and grief that John and Kelly are right now. If you feel it necessary to mock their choice of beliefs that is fine but those comments are for another day. Show some humanity and let these people grieve in peace. All of you that have mocked them should be ashamed of yourselves for being so insensitive. They lost a child and that has nothing to do with their beliefs.

81. So sorry to hear about the loss of your beloved son Jett. I pray that in time your grief will be replaced with the many wonderful and loving moments you shared with your beautiful boy. Ella will always have someone very special watching over her.

82. Autism can't be cured. So it does not matter if the kid got medication in his younger years.

83. There is no greater pain than losing a child no matter what the age...there is however... the promise of heaven...

84. 48. To Rita:
Just out of curiousity - are you a scientologist? Otherwise, where in the hell did you get your facts that scientologists do not acknowledge autism. OOOH, let me guess - F'n Tabloids. Shame on any of you for acting like know-it-alls with somebody elses lives.

Hello777, nope, I got it from someone who was in your freak cult for nearly 15 years. Hope that answers your question.

85. John, Kelly, & family.

I am so sorry for your loss. I can't even imagine how you feel, but my heart breaks for you. May God be with you during this unbelievably difficult time. We all love you & wish there was something we could do, but we know there's nothing.

86. The parents were the cause of this kids long term pain and death

Now they are so cheap instead of paying the costs to ship the body home they cremate the kid and to assure no clues as to real cause of death.

Lousy parents is common today, should shoot both of these sleezebags.

87. i think that every parent has the right to do what they think is the best and i personaly think that cremate him was the best decision why you want to puy your love ones on a hold

88. To the Travolta family, I just want to let you know that I love the pictures of Jett and John. They are very tender and loving. You can see the love for each other in your eyes. He was a very beautiful young man. May you all find peace in knowing he has gone home. He will always be with you in your hearts and minds. No one can ever take that away from any of you. May your hearts be filled with happiness when thinking of him and not sorrow. In time, the sorrow will pass. It is not easy, but it does pass. I know because I have been there. I have lost my only child. Our children may not be here with us in the physical sense, but believe me I know my son is with me. So, love one another, and cherish your time together, because as we all know, we all must pass. Time is all we have in life, and every minute is a precious gift. May God bless you all!

89. For those that are not familiar with Scientology, please take a moment to read: http://www.xenu.net/roland-intro.html. This helps explain exactly what this group is.

It's truly sad that this boy has passed away and my condolences to his family, but if some awareness of this dangerous cult can come out of it, more lives will be saved.

90. Look, I have been pretty hard on the parents here. One, I think their cult and/or religion is dangerous and two there is no doubt this child with special needs went too long without being checked on. Yes, I think they loved their son and are greiving, that is what makes me so SAD, possible, prevantible death on both issues. What PISSES me off is that these two celebrities advocate, very openly, against medicating children with mental disorders. I did not make them fair game for all this critisisiam, they made it themselves. Long before their son died these people were out there using their celebrity status telling US how to medically treat our children and speaking out about what WE were doing wrong in the caring of OUR children's medical interest. So tell, me now, do you like them judging you?, what right do they have? I'm tried of celebrities shoving their opinions down my face, medically, politically, heck even my brand of hair color. That being said, I hope these parents find peace, GOD might be a good place to start.
