Up-coming episodes of the FX network's, "Nip/Tuck," will be featuring the cult of Scientology. Two characters tryign to deal with stress and emotional conflict in their lives will visit an auditing center. The network and show creators are cautious about dealing with the controversial group,
"I think I would have serious questions about whether we want to essentially go to battle against any religion. I don't think that's where any business ought to be," [FX president and general manager John ] Landgraf said. "The flip side of that is that if Ryan's writing something that's creatively valid and it's creatively balanced, I don't think it serves the interests of the religion to somehow personally attack Ryan, or me, or one of the actors. That doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I guess time will tell."
While U.S. continues to tolerate Scientology and ignore its obsession with profit and exploiting its members for the cult's own benefit, Germany has resolved to take a more proactive approach.
German Police and intelligent agencies have been issuing warnings to schools and parents regarding inconspicuous tutoring programs that are actually cult fronts used to recruit children and their families.
"We know that Scientology is trying to approach students to gain followers," said Bavarian Interior Minister Gunther Beckstein. "Scientology is not a religion. It is a business and its aim is to gain power over individuals and try to brainwash them,' Beckstein added. "We see it as the duty of the state to inform students and parents about the danger of these schools."
