You just don't have that much power, hard as it may be for you to accept.

No I would NOT have the power to stop them from attending but they would NEVER be accepted as a member. I would treat them as a visitor until they died or left. They would not have any priviledge as a member.The congregation would know they are not a member and they would know they are not a member. Anyone can sit in the building but not everyone can be a member.
