In a perverse way, there appear to be pangs of conscience over what he did, driving him to prove something, to prove that they’re no better than him, that they’ll do it for money too.
Forgive the damaged, willfully sinful men who tempted you into this, John. Forgive yourself for being weak and succumbing to the sin. Swear it off, ask for and receive His forgiveness, become a new creature in God. Lift you burden up to Him and know that there will be justice, maybe not in this world, but there will be.
Join your fellow child actor laboring alone to expose this nest of sexual predation. They’re trying to destroy you now anyway, after concealing your wrong behavior all these years. You have nothing to lose and an eternity to gain.
This is how I processed the allegations as well. If the allegations are true, I don't necessarily think Travolta is gay, but rather sadistic. A man of great wealth and power who is subjecting young males to the same indignities he himself was subjected to. A classic cycle of abuse.

Each Freeper has a perfect right to express their particular reaction. To laugh it all off could be said to be a healthy way of somehow defusing a very sad situation. There are those who may feel an inner sadness, myself included. I hope such feelings do not run counter to the general train of thought here.
I have read "Dreams From My Father" said to be the thoughts of a then Senator Obama. I ask myself again and again as I read the so-called poem about "Pops", is it just a mere incident in his past? I remember the "innocent" young girl in the sitcom, "Gilligan's Island". She related that having very little demand after that sitcom ended, she was invited to the house of a Hollywood mogul. She was asked to share the mogul's bed with his wife for a "threesome". She had a breakdown and ran from it. I read where a child star was going for an interview with a mogul and he exposed himself to her. Was it the immortal Shirley? I cannot remember.
Your plea for forgiveness of the "damaged, willfully sinful men", is, of course, quite proper in the Christian way of things. Somehow I do deviate though. Pedophiles should be chemically castrated. Apart from that, I would like to see a Congressional inquiry into Hollywood. This after the thunder of the next presidential election is over.
Bring the whole thing out into the harsh light of day. (Forgive the rant).
It does make you wonder, whenever you watch any movie or TV show and you see the actors, you have to ask the question, what did they have to do along the way in order to get those roles.
