The religious community shuns members when they leave the group
So do Family Courts with orders of protection and jail.
While the government may guarantee free morality and pursuit of happiness that is not the belief and practice of a religious community who may wants a family member to stop or change a moral path allowed by the government. Not being a JW a father may not want a son to use druxs or live a amoral lifestyle. The gov protects a person’s right to be free but a parent wants his son to be happy and to be healthy and to prosper. He won’t tolerate conduct that he believes is devastating to his child. The group lives by a moral code and allowing conduct outside the morality harms the offender and the group. The group should not be forced by the gov to tolerate conduct outside beliefs and practices of the group. Free to live however you like but it offends and hurts the group and the father wants the son to live a different life.
