Qaraim (followers of the text) have been a distinct group since at least the 8th century. (They claim to be descended from Saducees/Zadokim, so they claim to be the original Jews.)
Reconstructionist Jews follow neither the Written nor Oral laws.

I am aware of that. I think you missed the point of my post.

The liberal "branches" are always talking about "pluralism," "diversity," and "inclusion," yet they themselves do not recognize the Jewishness of anyone who actually believes in G-d or the Written Torah other than the Orthodox. They recognize the Orthodox because they have to, and they reject all other Theistic "branches" because they want to deprive Judaism of its Theistic basis.
