Scariest Publicist Statement. Ever.
Yesterday I posted about and linked to that great Daily Mail article which detailed the grief John Travolta is having about the death of his son and speculated that he would be leaving Scientology, albeit quietly.
Well a few short hours after that came one of the scariest press releases I have read.
"There's no change in the relationship between the Church of Scientology and John. He is a member and it's as it was, now and forever."
That whole formality thing of the it's as it was is freaky enough but throwing in that part about now and forever just kind of stamps some finality about this whole thing. Once you are in, you are in. As much as I dislike lots of religions, I don't think there would be this kind of statement about them. It made me shiver the first time I read it. It makes me even feel more sorry for John. I mean he made his own bed in Scientology and I wouldn't be surprised if some people have contributed a whole bunch of money based on his advocacy of it, but still, they made their own decisions, and I hope they would be able to leave if they wanted, now and forever.
