Travolta's Scientology turning point? — The Daily Beast

Kim Masters Source:
The Daily Beast The actor’s public acknowledgement that his son, who died in January, was autistic has former Scientologists convinced that he will leave the church—which they say has little tolerance for chronic conditions.
When John Travolta took the witness stand last week and testified that his late son, Jett, was autistic, it came as a grim relief to some former Scientologists.
“Wasn’t that amazing?” said a fallen-away church member after Travolta appeared in an extortion case that followed the death of his 16-year-old ...

The Suburban (Montreal) A display on the mezzanine of one of Concordia University’s downtown buildings turned heads last week for proclaiming that the profession of psychiatry is an “industry of death.”
Students who walked into the Library building on de Maisonneuve Blvd. two weeks ago were faced with a large exhibit, decorated to resemble a filthy asylum, with various displays on the historical evils of psychiatry and the quackery practiced by its disciples. What is not immediately apparent is that the display was organized ...

If you passed through the hall of Concordia’s McConnell library building last week, you might think they’re all caused by the pernicious influence of psychiatry.
Organized by the innocuous-sounding Citizens’ Commission on Human Rights (CCHR), “Psychology: Industry of Death” is a travelling exhibit that spent four days in the open hall of the university library, arousing curiosity, controversy and at least one ...

Montreal Gazette Re: "Scientologists have a right to speak, too" (Editorial, April 19). Your editorial's plaintive title betrays a fundamental misapprehension of the issues involved. No one denies the right of Scientologists to say whatever they want, however wrong and untrue it might be. What some people are concerned about, however, is the fact that they are being given a publicly-funded, intellectual soapbox - the Atrium of Concordia University's library building - from which to make their crackpot claims. That is the issue. ...

Montreal Gazette It's a name apparently designed to win friends and influence people. After all, what part of "the Citizen's Commission on Human Rights" can you be against? In truth, however, this noble-sounding group has a specific agenda that is much more controversial than citizenry, human rights, or any solemn commission.
All the same, Concordia University has done exactly the right thing in allowing this group to express itself on campus.
The CCHR is affiliated with the Church of Scientology, an organization with ...
