I don't think he's so potentially a kick ass truth weapon.
He is living a life of BS, yet he has had far more opportunity than most
to see that it is BS. He is not trapped inside the SO. He is in a job which requires being in touch with the world and what goes on. He would need to be well aware of public image yet has not (seemingly) looked and asked why there is all the flak against the cult he promotes. If he has looked then he was too stupid or too brainwashed to understand.
If he does leave, which I doubt very much, he is likely, on past record, to clam up and agree to some crippling cult gagging tactics.
The cult has him in their control. They seem to have not wanted to use him much in the past, but since Tom Cruise has fucked up so badly, and Kirstie Alley looks and sounds so horribly out-PR, then Travolta has had a bit of promotion to do. Nobody else there to do it. His recent reversal on the Bahamas case, is very suspect. Scientologists don't back down remember? It looks like the people who were accused of extortion were in fact victims of extortion carried out by Travolta on behalf of the COS.
This *John Travolta is nice* mantra is childish crap.
Not to say that it is not possible that he is nice, but he is very involved in a not nice cult and uses his influence to help them.
That is not nice.
It looks like wish fulfillment to me. The goodness (embodied in JT)
will win through. Man is basically good said fat lips, and wasn't that nice to hear? It feels good. JT feels good. We are good. Big smile.
JT is just another cult victim. And cult enabler. What is so good about that?
People are known to bring surprises. Even when fucked up. Especially when fucked up. I hear you. I really do. However, neither you or I know for sure what's up with JT. All I am saying - he is not completely blind. I didn't gave up on him completely yet. That's all.
