I don’t mean to stray away from the topic too much, but Cherie, if you don’t mind, could you elaborate on your experience(s) with Scientology? From everything I’ve heard and read it sounds like nothing more than a money-grabbing cult, but I really don’t know that for a fact. If you wouldn’t mind elaborating and educating everyone as to what Scientology is really about and/or confirm that every crazy thing we’ve heard is true, that would be great.

I am a former $cientologist. They believe that austism is due to the thetans and that Jett will need to cure himself. Very sick.

i don’t understand the whole thin g about a psychiatrist and treating autism. My son is mild autistic amongst other things like a seizure disorder and CP but I have always taken him to a neurologist and never a psychiatrist. He is on medication for his behavior so he can function in school and the world, but it is not a psychiatric medication.

Ella is so adorable.

This is complete off the topic but many have questioned John’s comments and why they haven’t seen any recent pictures of Jett.

I realize Kelly and John are scientologist, but c’mon if it was your child you would do whatever it took ~ seriously John and Kelly are dealing with it. Just because they aren’t vocal about doesn’t mean they aren’t handling/dealing with it. I’m sure Kelly and John have taken him to professionals to help/assist with their son if it is indeed true that Jett is austistic. I’m sure someone is going to reply to this and “Point” out that various sites claim the exact samething and before you do..really do you think I care? People have taken his comment out of context but that’s what people do. I understand people have their opinions and this is mine. I don’t want to debate this to anyone but I just don’t think some are giving them the benefit of the doubt, again we truly do not know. Some people/celebrities are vocal about their children having Austism while others aren’t…

Maybe they did and the physician did recommend someone specializing in psychiatry, but again, they didn’t follow up on that recommendation, due to their religion.

Ella is a beauty!! It’s too bad the pretend not to have another son; I wonder what that does to his self-esteem

They can’t take Jett to a regular doctor or physical therapist? I thought Scientologists were only agains psychiatry. How is it confirmed that the boy does have autism? He sure isn’t around lately as there has been many sightings of the family with Ella only. And they are not mentioning their son.

I agree with Alioop. I got the same vibes when I read the quote about the reasoning behind wanting another child. It’s like okay, let’s forget we’ve got this older “imperfect” child and concentrate on having another perfect one like Ella. That’s just wrong. Jett needs help, whether they believe it or not.

I remember when he was still very small, John used to talk about him a lot, seeing as he named him Jett after his love of planes. And now it’s like oh we know something is wrong with him for sure, so let’s not talk about him anymore. People will obviously begin to speculate and ask the same questions we’re asking…where’s Jett. In my opinion, denying a child’s condition and needs for that condition is just as bad as any physical abuse one can inflict on a child.

John Travolta has always been one of my favorite actors, Kelly Preston, not so much. But I can’t help but think that reading between the lines of John’s comment about wanting another boy because they already have a beautiful girl “their one beautiful princess” now if they could just have “their one beautiful prince” instead of the poor non-princely-type boy they DO have! Well their lives would be perfect and then they could truly be a perfect family!!!

I’m sorry but that is just the impression I hear in his comment for wanting another child.

So sad, poor rejected Jett.

Ella is a beauty! I also wish we’d see more of Jett…
