Discipline shouldn't mean hating or making them feel worse about themselves, I think that's where a lot of churches get it wrong.

Really wrong because how on earth do you want to explain losing a sheep to the wolf because he did what he wasn't supposed to do.
Have you heard about some saying "they hand them over to the devil" before?
They didn't say, it's actually written in the Bible. Even God disciplines or punishes who He loves, most of us humans just don't do it out of love.
Don't get me wrong. I know it's in the Bible but there's a clause before that can come in.
But in a case where it's probably the first mistake and he or she is even willing to make amends but because they don't want to be seen associated with him/her, they bring that in.
Nah, that's wrong of them.
There are patterns to watch out for, if the person is willing to make amends, why push them away?
Shey you get! Pushing them away is not in any way proving the parable of the shepherd looking for the one lost sheep when he even had a whole 99
Yeah hopefully cos what's the significance of salvation they preach when they shut the door against it
