What about pastors who leave their churches during service, to go to their saints homes to see why they aren't at church?

Back in the day at JCM, actually saw TC calling from the platform to find out why people weren't there. In his case I would call it good sheparding.

When I "dropped out" for a time, and let my license go, not a single person from the local assembly or district or HQ bothered to check up, much less ask why.

I agree with the concept of being a good shepard, however, I think leaving church during service is more than a little invasive. This particular pastor would not excuse his saint for hardly any reason. My pastor makes phone calls and sends cards every week to those who have been missing. We also have committees who check in on people.

absolutely true. Unless they lived close that could also make for a pretty long "song service" I think we called them back then
