Nate, that is so far from what I'm saying. The early church congregated together, broke bread together, prayed for each other. The body of Christ is the church of the living God. I'm not talking about a church building. To separate oneself from fellowship with other believers is dangerous. If you are not fellowshipping with other believers then you have in effect amputated yourself from the body.
And, please, I'm not saying she is without God or that she can't rejoin the body but if she or anyone is without fellowship of the body then they are alone and easy prey.
