The pride-injured Dave McKay has found yet another scapegoat on which to vent his rage at being so misunderstood and persecuted by the world: the Quakers who repudiated him--- despite also being a new religious movement themselves at one time.

Dave McKay, does it not occur to you that every religious movement there has ever been since the dawn of time, and that includes cannibals and pagan sun worshipers, is at one time a
new religious movement?
Following on from that, the ones that endure are those that have something of value to offer their adherents, not the obvious family business churches that are built on lies, deception and the greed of the founder. Even those of us who at one time made a religion out of eating the heart and liver of our vanquished opponents have had a rethink and altered our behaviour somewhat.
Those latter, family business churches, inevitably crumble unless they have something of real value to offer
to others and are able change the founding ethic of personal aggrandisement and greed to one of true service to others.
Your life's work won't outlast you or your mouthpiece website by a day, old man. And no heirs to carry your torch, whether blazing or sputtering, for you either.
Incidentally, the academic conference that Dave McKay hopes to use to bolster his claims of legitimacy is this one:

www.cesnur.org]
which was referenced here some time ago by Yasmin, I believe. I see that both the Moonies and the Family International have a presence there, hoping to boost their
perceived aura of legitimacy by association with the mover and shakers of the 'great and good'.
The sharing of academic ideas is just that--a free discussion with the hope of increasing the knowledge and understanding and benefitting all participants---something that Dave McKay is not constitutionally able to get his head around--not any proving ground of the legitimacy or not of the participants.
