The meaning of backsliding I believe is "To slide back to the original position where you don't have God." Remember nobody backslide overnight. They usually backslide gradually. Maybe coming for CG and SVS 3 times a week then slowly reduce their attendance. If any one of you know a friend or even you yourself have 2 or 3 such symptoms, do seek advice from your leader.
