Being open doesn't mean the meeting format would change. Being open means you're free to meet with us on our terms. Anyone who feels their conscience is being violated has liberty to meet somewhere else.

I would agree. I do not mean to imply that there is no church discipline and we are stuck with any Christian no matter what.

But the LC version of open means you come to their place and you are free to participate as long as you behave by their rules. And if you do not revere their Apostle of the Age, you will be excluded. They have no intention of coming to your place, and if they do they will refrain from participating in your Lord's table.
