I don't think this is far-fetched, but might not be something of a priority to the UN at the moment. I think the time will come, but in the future. Maybe when things settle down in the Middle East/North Africa area.

Both "Mentally Diseased" & Blood Transfusion DF/DA Violate UN Charter
by skeeter1 inthe united nations charter is for all un countries to follow, to its best ability.. the united nations is for the right to change one's religion, without coercion.
it applies to both countries who thwart changing religions directly, but also holds governments responsible if it allow private actors to coerce people from changing one's religion.
coercion is thought of broadly, and goes beyond mere physical force.

by DT inthere are a lot of comments on twitter about the media coverage of the watchtower article calling apostates mentally diseased.
some people are saying that they must be mentally diseased because they left the religion or disagree with their teachings.

In the scenerio, The person has lost their job, we don't know why they lost their job, they lost their house too, have spent all their savings. They were not poor. So if we want to think that this is happening to only poor people with disadvantaged backgrounds, we are kidding ourselves. Poor people don't have good paying jobs where they can save money and don't buy homes. People are getting pink slips everyday. Highly educated folks are taking jobs like what is offered in the Spent game. The game lets anyone see how things could possibly be for those trying to make it on a low paying job. And then the choices you have to make just to survive. How hard and stressful those choices are and how that can push your farther and farther down.
A personal expericance, my brother was unemployed for almost three years. He collected unemployment while looking for a job. He hated not working. His life was severely changed. The family did not hear from him for about a year, he was ashamed, as he lived in a tent for awhile. But he kept on trying. Roomed with someone and was desperately trying to keep his rent house. He finally found a job close to where I live. His truck was not legal, we did what we could to get it legal and have gas to get here. He stayed with me as he was only hired as a temp, so was not eligable for any expenses to be paid. It was a severe cut to what he had been paid for the same skill. The job ended and he went home only to pack his stuff, put it in storage and live with friends. He then took a job as a delivery man making $8 an hour. He had not made that kind of money since he was a kid, but he was happy, he had a job. Well, the place that hired him as a temp called him and he is now hired on Full-time with health benefits, will get a company truck within 90 days. He is now making the $30+ an hour he was used to before. He is paying into the system once again. He is not uneducated, dirty, a druggie or stupid. By the time he finally felt good enough to come out of his shell and let us all know what was going on, he was practically suicidal, he was losing hope. I spent hours talking to him, encouraging, supporting, loving him, he felt like the biggest loser. He is finishing up the first job in DC and is planning for the next place they send him. He is happy, paying back the money that was lent to him and feels like a contributing person to society, he is one of the fortunate ones.

Thanks for all your responses, We are fortunate to hear the success stories of coming out of hard times. I doubt we will get a response from a homeless person. Which I am glad no one here is homeless, that we know of, but it's very easy to see how it happens. This was a good PSA, and again thanks for your input.
Be kind to those in need and displaced, it's difficult.
