Actor John Travolta's son dies in Bahamas
 

The teenage son of actor John Travolta died suddenly on Friday during a family vacation in the Bahamas, according to the family's lawyer.

Jett Travolta, 16, suffered a seizure at his family's vacation home at the Old Bahama Bay Hotel on Grand Bahama Island, attorney Michael Ossi said.

Attempts were made to revive him, but he died at the scene, Ossi said.

Jett, who had a history of seizures, was the eldest child of Travolta and his wife, actress Kelly Preston. They also have a daughter, Ella Blue, who was born in 2000.


What a horrible experience at anytime but especially for the Christmas holidays.

I know he was close to his mother and I don't think he has many family members.

That is sad. Praying for the family.

So sad!

Re: Actor John Travolta's son dies in Bahamas
 

yes, I had heard about it earlier today...so sad...

Re: Actor John Travolta's son dies in Bahamas
 

Yes it is. I understand for a parent this is one of the hardest things to ever go through.

Re: Actor John Travolta's son dies in Bahamas
 

John Travolta is very much a family man; this is so sad!

And John believes.........

Does that change the fact he lost his son?

Re: Actor John Travolta's son dies in Bahamas
 

No ma'am.

Nor does it change:

Galatians 6:7 (KJV)
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
Or:
Proverbs 22:6 (KJV)
Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.


I have family members that if they died today would face a judge, not a savior. It breaks my heart, but the Word is still the Word.

Forgive my seemingly hard-heartedness, but don't misunderstand my intent. I want to reach the whole world, but I cannot excuse indifference to the Word.

But He is still a "God of the living."

I guess I don't understand how this is related to having sympathy for someone that lost their son. Not trying to be critical, but who put you in the role of excusing or not excusing his or his son's indifference to the Word? :coffee2

There always seems to be a post like this whenever someone dies.... "Just a reminder - this person is in hell...; lest you feel too much sympathy" I guess I just don't get it.

Sad to hear of John Travolta's son passing.
That is a burden no parent should have to bear.

Re: Actor John Travolta's son dies in Bahamas
 

agree !

Re: Actor John Travolta's son dies in Bahamas
 

DerrickS, I agree with you. We all know the Travolta family was devout Scientologists. I do not not believe the Travolta family will be saved unless they find truth. Regardless, when a person dies, it is not the time to judge but rather give love/sympathy. II Corinthians clearly states the greatest is...love.

Not trying to pick a fight but ChTatum, did you ever send the salvation message to Travolta? You said you wanted to reach the world but can't tolerate indifference to the Word. No one is tolerating indifference to the Word when they offer a sinner compassion.

Re: Actor John Travolta's son dies in Bahamas
 

I apologize for the way I came across, yes, I sympathize for the family, having lost a child of my own.

Re: Actor John Travolta's son dies in Bahamas
 

Apology accepted. If you had not of apologized, I would still consider you friend.

Re: Actor John Travolta's son dies in Bahamas
 

Most of the time, whenever I hear of tragedy or loss, it makes me sympathetic for those who are suffering.

I hope for the salvation of John Travolta and family.

Re: Actor John Travolta's son dies in Bahamas
 

Thanks for that. And I'm very sorry for your loss. Can't imagine...
