    Did Scientology kill John Travoltas son, Jett Travolta?

    I'm guessing they probably did, but I have no facts to back up my opinion, just, it's the kinda thing they'd do. :D

    There is speculation that his death may be related to the scientologist stance on western autism medication. L Ron Hubbard said that autism is psychosomatic, and has a detox programme to help the autistic - which may or may not have had fatal implications on Jett Travolta.

    Short answer: Maybe!

    initially I laughed. Then I thought of the grief the family must be feeling.........

    that made me stop. 16 years old. Jesus.

    What if I phrased the question:

    If John Travolta wasn't a member of the cult of Scientology, would his son Jett still be alive today?

    The way you phrased it intially seem to suggest that scientology killed him on purpose.

    It's possible that they denied him proper medical care. However as far as I know Jett was only speculated to have autism, but was never diagnosed as such.

    The one good thing about this is hopefully it will shine a spotlight on Scientology's bogus medical claims.

    According to this report he didn't die from Scientology
    According to Scientoligists he didn't die from Scientology.

    I thought you'd be a bit more critical thinking than that.

    Womoma, I'd like to change thst thread title to somthing a little less inflamatory, Scientoligst are all over the place, something like that might cause problems for the site

    so, any ideas on how you'd like it to read instead.

    I'd go with a simple 'Jett Travolta RIP' , actually thats what I'm gonna change it to now, but if you hae a better idea I'll implement it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,849 ✭✭✭condra


    Cool hopefully boards don't get sued. I have heard the COS like suing people ;)

    Jetts death is tragic. I hate to think he may not have been recieving the medical help he needed because of (what I consider to be) a fruity little cult.

    The fact that he probably wasn't in a position to make a logical, informed decision on his own ideology and lifestyle makes it especially interesting for a secularist like myself.

    Still, come to think of it, no matter what people think of the COS, the event is a tragedy, not a conspiracy. My bad.

    Maybe you should have named it 'Did alCIAda kill jett travolta' . (thats just what i was thinking when i heard about this tragedy)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 776 ✭✭✭Tomk1


    'Jett Travolta RIP'
    Do they even believe in Rest in Peace.
    When I heard about this first, I thought how terriable.

    1.Thing is has the actions of this crazy believe directly attribuated to his death.
    2. Lets speculate, if cos directly killed jett, why?
    3. If John was not a member of cos would jett be alive now.

    Bah, even your own link (on wiki!) says that they need to do further research on the issue. Mercury is a poison. Injecting said poison into babies is bad. Particularly bad since it's used as a preservative to cut costs for drugs corporations.

    I would strongly disagree with locking the thread, but perhaps moving it to A+A, Celebrities, or Skepticism.

    Celebrities and their families, live and die in the public eye. Aside from the fact that none of the Travolta family will ever read this, the general tone of the thread is relatively sober and measured.

    I personally feel it important that people be aware of, and discuss the possible dangers of superstitious/dogmatic belief.

    Yea and sodium is a poison and incredibly reactive and most people ingest it everyday. Eating that poison is bad.
    Great logic!

    But maybe you have some kind of good evidence linking autism with vaccinations? Or some evidence to show that the conclusion of pretty much every medical body is flawed?

    Or are you just assume a conspiracy because some people claimed one?

    Big difference between sodium in compounds and mercury my good man. The medical jury is still out on the link between autism and vaccinations, and most will say that while they believe baby vaccinations to be safe, that more study needs to be done. Studies have shown an increase in tremors after vaccinations for a start - does that sound good to you? The WHO organisation has an agenda to control disease and herd immunisation is a great way to do this. I'd wager that they would be prepared to gloss over minority cases of serious side effects to ensure that public confidence and thus that people continue to take the vaccinations.

    As for the drugs corporations? I wouldn't believe much from them (or studies which they have funded), as they exist solely for profit.

    Herd immunisation doesn't work if a lot of people refuse to have there kids vaccinated. In fact there have been a few larger than usual outbreaks in the US due to an increase of unvaccinated children.

    Mercury is present in the vaccines however, and mercury is a serious toxin which causes neurological problems. In fact, the CDC in America recommends a safe level of such a toxin - a level which was surpassed in many cases particularly with Hepatitis B vaccination.

    Yes, I suggest you research further than the wiki page. Studies are ongoing at the moment, with one in Argentina almost ready for release. It appears to show that ethyl mercury is less of a problem to metabolise and pass out of the body than methyl mercury. Here are some preliminary findings:
    Currently the investigators of this study are completing their analyses of the data obtained from this study. Preliminary results indicate
    Mercury, in the form of methyl mercury (oral ingestion) and thimerosal (intramuscular injection with vaccines) were both readily absorbed and distributed into blood and brain.
    Total (organic plus inorganic) mercury was cleared from both blood and brain faster after thimerosal exposure than after methyl mercury exposure.
    Levels of total mercury measured in blood and in brain were lower after thimerosal exposure than after methyl mercury exposure.
    The proportion of brain mercury that was inorganic was higher in thimerosal-exposed animals compared with methyl mercury.
    The absolute amount of inorganic mercury was higher in thimerosal-exposed animals compared with methyl mercury.
    During weekly doses of methyl mercury, total mercury in blood continued to accumulate, while during weekly doses of thimerosal, there was little accumulation of total mercury in blood.

    Google it, research it. Must CTers spoon feed for every point. Here is some info:
    Both methylmercury and ethylmercury can cause peripheral and central nervous system injury in adults and children following acute or chronic, high-dose dietary exposure(1,10,19). Symptoms may include tremors, spasms, numbness and tingling of extremities, and a range of psychomotor and psychologic effects including irritability, restlessness, difficulty concentrating, decreased memory, and depression. Many of these symptoms and signs resemble those found in autistic children. Studies of the effects of ethylmercury and methylmercury in rats suggest comparable observable neurologic effects of intoxication between these two compounds(14,20,21).

    "Acute or chronic, high-dose dietary exposure" not the levels in vaccines. You said the was evidence of babies having tremors after the vaccinations. the paper says nothing about that.

    From that same paper
    Adverse neurodevelopmental effects following vaccine-related ethylmercury exposures -if these adverse effects do exist -are either extremely subtle and difficult to measure or occur at a frequency that is so low that they have escaped reliable detection(14,29,31). Nevertheless, additional studies are being undertaken to further evaluate whether there is any association between neurodevelopmental disorders and exposure to thimerosal-containing vaccines(29).

    From the one source I checked. Unless you can find definitive evidence in the other sources you've mentioned:
    Conclusions. No consistent significant associations were found between TCVs and neurodevelopmental outcomes. Conflicting results were found at different HMOs for certain outcomes. For resolving the conflicting findings, studies with uniform neurodevelopmental assessments of children with a range of cumulative thimerosal exposures are needed.

    Listen Mob, there is a lot of evidence that vaccination harms children. If not, then the controversy would not even exist since nobody would benefit from non-vaccination. Why do you think parents get onto media and tell stories of what happened to their own children? Why do you think they set up associations warning others to be wary of overloading on vaccinations? Do you presume to know the children in each case better than their parents, to know that a healthy child could be afflicted with autism and various forms of physical and mental degradation almost immediately after vaccination was administered? I trust that more than drugs corporate funded studies and whitewashing.

    Talk about killing a dead 16 year lad, SORRY, flogging a dead horse/QUOTE]

    How do you kill a dead 16 year old lad??

    Or is this something that scientologists can only do??

    My point, as you know, is that the studies are still ongoing and more are needed.
    And all the good studies that have come before have shown absolutely no link.

    From the one source I checked. Unless you can find definitive evidence in the other sources you've mentioned:
    Conclusions. No consistent significant associations were found between TCVs and neurodevelopmental outcomes
    All of those studies found no link between autism and vaccines.

    They were contained (or linked to I can't remember) in one of the links I provided. Don't have time to go back over them.
    Didn't see them. I would give them alot of attention, what with them disproving your theory.

    Because logic dictates that if I'm a corporation which makes profit from selling vaccines, the last thing I want to do is release information which will destroy stock price and bankrupt the corporation through law suits. Do you agree that it would be logical to hush the true results?
    Yes but the are bodies that stop that from happening.
    And wouldn't the cost of bribing these bodies outweigh the money saved by using thimerosal?

    Then by your logic Dungeons and Dragons leads to Satanism. Otherwise why would parents set up organisations against it and or go on the news about it?
    Perhaps there's no such thing as autism at all and maybe they're all Indigo Children? Do you know those children better than there parents?

    Unfortunately most parents aren't doctors and are subject to things like confirmation bias, and logical fallacies like Post-hoc ergo propter hoc.

    There is no evidence to show any link between autism and vaccinations.
    There is evidence showing removing thimerosal has no effect on the rates of autism.

    The only evidence you have provided so far is: corporations are evil. Not exactly convincing.

    You've an annoying habit of misinterpreting logic and building straw men mobby. Anyway, I cannot dance in circles with you any longer, time does not permit and I've made and defended my points for others here to decide on using their own minds. You may have the last word. :)

    Then would you like to explain why exactly a mother intuition (which is demonstrably fallible) trumps science?
    It's much more likely these mothers are mistaken or have bought into the bull**** and pseudo-science. Just like when people believed Dungeons and Dragons lead to satanism, even though it was complete and absolutely false.

    I hardly call cherry picking and misinterpreting papers, calling corporations evil and saying mother is always right defending your points well.

    no, I'm just trying to get you used to the idea of posting links when you make a claim about something :D

    no, I'm just trying to get you used to the idea of posting links when you make a claim about something :D

    Ok so backing up the things you claim is a bad thing then? And you guys are trying to teach me this?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,343 ✭✭✭✭King Mob


    So kernel finished looking over those studies showing no decrease in autism rates despite the thiomersal being removed?
    Cause they kinda disprove your theory.

    So Kernel ever look over those papers that blow the link between vaccines and autism out of the water?

    Or are you ignoring the actual evidence?

    Cause it's a lot of evidence to ignore.

    Oh look some more: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/health/article5683671.ece

    But hey keep up the fight for truth!

    Straight back into your old routine eh Mob?

    bumping threads to go on the offensive.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,133 ✭✭✭mysterious


    This thread is downright dispicable and disgusting:mad:


    I would feel bad for anyone who lost a child to read this including John travolta. It's a very insensitive thing to say and make a joke out of it. It's a dangerous accusation to say that scientology did it by saying in a humour provoking way (based on no evidence, no facts, no logic and no purpose even)

    Shame on the thread starter. Womana do you know anyone who lost their child and believe in catholicism? Cus it's catholicism has it's fair share of skeleton's in the closet too.

    The thing about scientologist is their a bunch of teases!!

    I've been waiting for them all to drink scyanide and still nothing yet?

    Oh really , well keep waiting , i definitely won't be drinking scyanide ! :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,273 ✭✭✭EuskalHerria


    Womoma, I'd like to change thst thread title to somthing a little less inflamatory, Scientoligst are all over the place, something like that might cause problems for the site

    so, any ideas on how you'd like it to read instead.

    I'd go with a simple 'Jett Travolta RIP' , actually thats what I'm gonna change it to now, but if you hae a better idea I'll implement it

    cool. forgive me if this is a stupid question but whats it like being a scientologist?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,133 ✭✭✭mysterious


    This thread should be separated and the john travolta thread should be removed as its all about scientology. Ythis thread is shameful for using John Travolta's son's as a pawn in the scientology spin.

    If you all want to talk about scientology, create a thread about it. This kind of behaviour is not acceptable as using someones life to take it against a religion ffs.

    Guess I was right some people on CTs are not able to behave like adults.:mad:
