LSMers apparently found people off the streets, who had not been to meetings for years, provided them with incentives, and sent them to the meetings to disrupt them. Kind of like what the Pharisees did during Jesus mock trial.
The eldership
does have the right (per by-laws) to require voting members to be those with certain minimum attendance, tithing history, etc.
