John Travolata is a selfish coward.
In addition, for those who are, or ever were, Scientlogists, he is a no-confont, First Dynamic obsessed, "only one."
A recent Tampa Bay Times article, with my brief comments at the end.
John Travolta says he's happy with Scientology, won't see 'Going Clear'

John Travolta said Monday he hasn't viewed the HBO documentary Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief, currently shining an accusatory light on his church.
"No, I haven't," the star of Saturday Night Fever and Pulp Fiction said in a telephone interview, "and I don't really care to."
* * * * * END EXCERPT * * * * *
* * * * * BEGIN EXCERPT * * * * *
"I haven't experienced anything that the hearsay has (claimed), so why would I communicate something that wasn't true for me?" Travolta said. "It wouldn't make sense, nor would it for Tom, I imagine."
Travolta called Going Clear a product of "people who were disgruntled with their experiences" with Scientology, while the church "has been nothing but brilliant for me."
"I've been so happy with my (Scientology) experience in the last 40 years," he said, "that I really don't have anything to say that would shed light on (a documentary) so decidedly negative.
"I've been brought through storms that were insurmountable, and (Scientology has) been so beautiful for me, that I can't even imagine attacking it."
One turbulent time for Travolta was the 2009 death of his son, Jett, after a seizure while on holiday in the Bahamas.
"Oh, my god, I wouldn't have made it" without the church's assistance, Travolta said. "Honestly."
The two-time Oscar nominee claimed to have used Scientology to aid others in crisis, another reason he won't see Going Clear.
"I've helped so many people through hard times," Travolta said. "Loss of children, loved ones, physical illnesses. Through many tough, tough life situations I've used the technology to support them and help them. It's always worked.
"So, why would I even approach a negative perspective? That would be a crime to me, personally, to do that."
* * * * * END EXCERPT * * * * *
Travolta might want to re-tread Student Hat, and word clear the word "hearsay." First hand accounts are not hearsay.
How could Travolta possibly know if something is "true for him" if he is unwilling to confront it or even look at it?
As long as the Church of Scientology has has made him happy, he doesn't give a shit what it has done to anyone else. He doesn't want to hear it.
Coward.
Selfish coward.
