Religious Freedom

[Alex]

JW's don't, per policy, shun non-believers. They tend to hang out with like minded people but you are allowed to interact with all kinds of people.

The ones who are shunned are people who leave the faith. There is a certain amount of logic in this (not that it makes it any easier on people) because you have to understand what accepting the good news means to them and what a betrayal it is to have accepted it and then reject it. You are also fundamentally rejecting how they define themselves at their very core.
