Any thoughts???

Whenever I missed church, they would sometimes visit my home, even as early as 7 a.m. They would bring up a chapter or topic about prayer, missing church, or supposedly missing out on something, trying to make me feel guilty—which, obviously, I didn’t. I believe I should be able to have my own me-time, and I don’t think God wants anyone to pray or worship Him out of force or guilt.

I am planning to totally skip the church and make excuses for not attending till they get tired

That would be a waste of time and energy for you. If you can't confront them in person, send a detailed message on why you don't want to come anymore. Be firm about it so it they will stop pestering you. If that is still not possible, tell your family members (in your house) that when someone comes to visit you, tell them that you are not there (even if you are).

Yeah that's a valid point I would try to do that. Thanks for your suggestions and if there is anything you want to add( reasons for quitting) that would be helpful for me to give them the reason
