That's fine. But it means it is (as advertised) an organisation of 'no fixed belief' even if every member has his/her own personal set of fixed beliefs!
So obviously those who wish to share 'a fixed belief' would be well advised not to join the Quakers. For those who do not the Quakers may well seem a very attractive option.
In the final resort everyone should be guided by their conscience (genuine). Even some people of 'fixed belief' believe (and are taught) that!
