Expulsion, rejection, excommunication, shunning, disfellowshipping, and quarantining
could all be defined as "conditional receiving."
Any exclusive group like the LC's
can claim that they are inclusive, and that they are
open to receive anyone, if ... with their fingers crossed behind their back ... these ones meet all of their written and unwritten conditions.
With Brazil and the GLA, notice that the mandatory "conditions" of acceptance changed over time, the primary requirement, of course, was to submit to LSM's ever changing "conditions" of acceptance.
