Although I said I think you are correct, that it is not mandatory to attend a Church when a Biblical Church can not be found. I think I need to qualify that a bit.
Within the confines of a true Church spiritual growth happen better than not attending at all. Therefore, when someone decides they should stay home, rather than attend they should not take that descision lightly.
I know a few people who no longer attend Church, however some of them have become almost like hermits, with their fellowship being with those who they find on the Internet.
Although after years of searching for a Biblical Church I finally found one about 5 years ago. Before that, I found that I needed to attend for my own sake. I found that in a lot of Churches there are true Christians who are in the same boat I am in and most of my fellowship was with them.
In Pink's case, if what I read is true, although I suspect his depression had a lot to do with it. He withdrew completely and had very little fellowship. He was a pastor for a while and I didn't find his reason for stopping that. However, after that he did not try to start a new local body where like minded believers could grow together.
