Actually, what you're describing is encouraged (assuming you're not a danger to the community, etc.). Part of the desire when someone is disciplined in this manner is that they return to full fellowship, and regular participation in church functions is definitely a plus in that respect.

I am not sure it is a factual statistic, but I have heard several times that only about 10% of ex'ed members return to the church. If that is the case, our batting average for "helping people repent" isn't too good.
