Just one question...How was he able to accomplish this mission, without having a couple FDX management guys at the controls?

Probably, just got lucky.

I thought Scientologists didn't believe in medicine!

Well, it seems you are the odd man out. Looks like you got piled on pretty hard. You must now realize that your statement was pretty callous and arrogant .... you probably realized that not too long after you wrote it.

So, we welcome you back, but you should think before you speak or in this case type something so adlescent.

some find a joy in complaining it seems.

Travolta Brings Food, Aid and Scientology to Haiti | PopEater.com

John Travolta and wife Kelly Preston are lending a hand to the earthquake victims in Haiti, as the actor flew his own jet into the ravaged country equipped with relief supplies, doctors and a handful of Scientology ministers aimed at helping. According to the Associated Press, Travolta and wife Kelly Preston flew from 4 tons of military food rations and medical supplies from Florida to Haiti and are leaving shortly ... but the doctors and Scientology ministers are staying.

"I want to thank Qantas Airlines and (its chief executive) Alan Joyce. Alan is allowing me to fly the Boeing 707 that's sitting in the backyard, fill it with supplies, fill it with doctors, fill it with volunteer ministers, and take it down to Haiti on Monday - so thank you, thank you, thank you," Travolta said about his trip.

This is Travolta's second relief effort to Haiti, having flown in supplies last week as well. On January 18, Travolta told the press: "I have arranged for a plane to take down some volunteer ministers and some supplies and some medics. I hope that inspires others as well. It's needed."

While the Travolta's relief efforts are surely appreciated, it's the presence of the Scientology ministers that has irked some, as the Church of Scientology has been accused of capitalizing on tragedies in the past.

Gawker.com, who have a long history of criticizing Scientology and its celebrity followers, summarizes that "anywhere people are suffering, Scientology's yellow-shirted 'volunteer ministers' can be found lurking near news cameras and claiming to help people with their bull---- technology. They performed 'purification rundowns' on recovery workers sifting through the ruins of the World Trade Center after 9/11, administered 'touch assists' to victims of the tsunami, distributed literature after the Virginia Tech shooting, and are on the ground in Haiti right now warning the starving, dehydrated populace about the dangers of psychiatry."

I am not a scientologist, but somebody once told me they simply try and not take medicine if they do not have to. ie.. if you get a headache do not run for the medicine cabinet; relax yourself and see if they headache goes away on its own 1st.

this is ALL i know/ heard about scientology, so please don't anyone yell if I am wrong.

Not Commenting on the Travolta flight, Although I do wonder how he got permission to fly in there when I hear they are spinning Military relief flights, but the Scientology Mentions merit the posting of this clip.

Mod note.

Interesting discussion to this point, but this turn toward religious debate is not IAW the TOS; so let's nip it in the bud now please.
