Backslide
From XFamily - Children of God

A term used to describe a "slippage" in a spiritual sense. This term served as a rhetorical bludgeon for use on individuals who were not falling in line and the archtypical act of "backsliding" was to leave The Family, which was an act that was demonized figuratively and in some cases literally.
