I have considered if I ever went back [as in "took leave of my senses"], would I respond to their attempts to "shepherd" me back into the flock? The answer is NO. I don't feel the manner in which they carry out their confession of sin and judicial discipline are in line with the scriptures and what was intended. Since they are not the "voice of God" they perport to be, there is no reason for me to give them more consideration in how I carry out my life than any other person I come into contact with.
Were they to approach me, I would say, "Thank you for your concern. I'll let you know if I need anything." With a big smile, and walk away. No matter what they said to me after that, I would just smile and repeat. Eventually, they would give up and leave me alone.
