Obligatory prayers: are they to be said in private?

Is it a Bahai teaching that the obligatory prayers should be said in private?

Open community and / or closed community?

To an outsider, or a newcomer from Roman Catholicism, the Bahai community can look like a closed little club: only registered members can go to Feast and serve on Assemblies, there are ID cards for members (in some countries), and some Bahais (like me) are not allowed to be registered members. In fact, it's not so simple: there is more to the Bahai model of community than just membership lists.
