		<description>Important Tip: The cult would have had Kaja watch the "Orientation" film as it is required viewing for new-comers. It tells you to either join Scientology or kill yourself by jumping off a bridge or blow your brains out. Maybe this creepy film had an adverse effect on her causing her to jump. Cult requires everyone sign a paper after watching the film, would proof she watched it.
"Orientation" is up on Youtube.</description>

		<description>Terryeo above should be extremely sad to try to pass the scientology viewpoint after such a drama. Scientology makes people shameless, cretinized, brainless, and heartless. Why? Because it's full of lies and it practices brainwashing.

Yes indeed, if Kaja had'nt met some idiotized scientologist of no competence in the matter of human psychology, she would be alive to-day. Yes indeed, if scientology was'nt pretending that everything in psychology and psychiatry and pharmacy and even, most of medicine and religions are bad or worse, Kaja would still be alive.

Yes indeed, the cult uses a perverted/twisted tool called "OCA test" to make people in. Yes indeed, the cult has been criminally convicted many times in France and in many other countries, after deaths or other horrible results. Yes indeed, deaths linked to scientology are before the courts in other countries than France.

And yes, the cult should cease both its recruiting fraudulous tests - moreover so to sell then other fraudulous (and already convicted) products to its victims.</description>

honestly, I was a bit drunk when I wrote that and read your comment, David.  And I only read about the first sentence before commenting.  Let that be a lesson to you all! Drunk commenting will only cause you to insert your entire leg into your mouth. If I could edit it, I would.</description>

		<description>To #5. Who are you referring to as "either of you"? Obviously one is Terryeo, who is the other considering there's 3 other comments and an entire article above you?

Assuming it's me (that would be the logical choice since I'm directly above you and responding to Terryeo), yes.

My Aunt killed herself (OD on painkillers). All three of my siblings attempted suicide, the youngest one less then a year ago (OD, OD, OD &#38; slashed wrists if you're curious). Also, my mother died of cancer when I was 12, my father was an alcoholic and I was homeless for 6 months. Oh and I also suffer from a rare genetic disease that causes huge amounts of pain and possible psychological breaks which could cause me to try and kill myself and not even remember it.

Do I get to be nonchalant as you put it about suicide now that I've established the appropriate suffering street cred?

You and I made the exact same point, that Scientology can cause people to kill themselves. Whether through teaching, brainwashing or in this case a poorly trained employee telling a mentally disturbed person that they're a failure. So what's the issue?</description>

		<description>Excuse me but have either of you ever had someone commit suicide on you? you don't know what you are talking about I think.  You have no IDEA what it is like to have someone you LOVE commit suicide. I know it.  If you did you wouldn't toss judgement around so nonchalantly.  SO NONCHALANTLY.  If you are nonchalant, then you do not know, so seriously, don't pretend like you have experience in such matters. Terreyo, I feel sorry for you. One day you might end up like my father~ so completely fucking wigged out on scientology paranioa that you hang yourself.  Here is a clue: get one.</description>

		<description>Holy shit, snowball fight in Hell everyone. TO and I agree on something, sort of.

Terryeo, I'll give you that the test in and of itself could not drive someone to suicide. You can't take a happy, normal person, expose them to scientology and have them kill themself in a day. (That shit at least usually takes a couple years) 

However, and this is where you and I differ, running a psychological test on someone who is already mentally disturbed and depressed, offering them the test as a form of "help" and then telling them they suck at life could very much push someone over the edge.

Scientologists aren't trained medical professionals trained to deal with mental disorders (regardless of what you choose to believe). They should not be running "personality" tests on people who are not well mentally. And they definitely shouldn't be telling depressed/mentally disturbed people where they fail in life and trying to sell them Scientology courses to "aid" them.

Telling seriously depressed people where they suck in life is absolutely the last thing that should be done, and this is where Scientology failed.

She MAY have committed suicide even if she never set foot in a scientology centre but you guys felt the need to give her that little extra push (out a window)</description>

		<description>A person commits suicide.  This is not good and is sad and the person's family, friends and associates might question themselves because we don't like to lose our friends.  But especially we don't like to lose our friends to suicide.

But I feel it is irresponsible reporting to imply that a one hour test and 5 minutes looking at the result, caused the suicide.

The test results have few labels, the results are by no means absolute and a person's results might vary, one day to the next.  It indicates areas of potential concern for a person.  Areas where a little attention, a little education might be helpful.  No part of it is an absolute declaration.</description>

		<description>Maybe it isn't immediately obvious: the "personality tests" are a recruitment tool of Scientology. They are designed to fail. Recruiters are trained to use this to force the person to try Scientology as "the only way to help." In other words, the test is an act of malice, and Scientology is directly responsible for this and other deaths.</description>
