John Travolta’s enduring pain

The death of a child is immensely painful and John Travolta has been suffering in the wake of the death of his son, Jett, six months ago.

The actor has been taking midnight drives in a golf cart alone across his Jumbolair estate in Florida.

Sources report Travolta has been unable to sleep because of his grief and spends time roaming his yard.

“We often see John driving himself around at night,” said a neighbor. “It’s sad to see. You rarely catch sight of him during the day. We used to see him driving around on a buggy with his son. Now it’s just John by himself.”

Jett died after suffering a seizure while on a family vacation in the Bahamas in January.

Travolta subsequently admitted his son had autism, going against the beliefs of his Scientology religion, which does not believe in the condition.

Reports surfaced that Travolta and his wife, Kelly Preston, had refused to accept his son’s condition and wouldn’t put him on medication.

Sources claimed Jett was treated with detoxification programs and vitamins, rather than conventional drugs.

Now, rumor has it Travolta is considering leaving Scientology.

“There have been strong rumors coming out of Scientology that John Travolta is disappointed that the religion was not able to help his son more,” said Rick Ross, a US author and lecturer on the Scientology. Travolta has sunk millions into the religion. If he does leave, the church are likely to react badly, according to Ross.

“‘I think it would be very difficult for John Travolta at this stage to extricate himself from Scientology. It would be a huge move on his part because Scientology keeps files on its celebrity members containing embarrassing personal information about them,” said Ross.

“And Scientology has proven in the past that it has a penchant for releasing that information to embarrass people who have left and who have said things it doesn’t like. That’s why I think Travolta will want to keep his problems with the Church private.”
