I Might want to join a cult before I die

[TheLastGreySky]

Honestly living feels like more and more work.
And I am a deeply religious person however,
I feel like if I had to join any church it would be a compromise of My views and my integrity to fit a mold that I am not able to fit into.

So I might as well join a cult as asinine as it sounds. If I could of brainwashed myself I would have done so years ago. I would very much like to be a part of a cult, given a family and maybe a sense of purpose BEFORE being forced to drink the special Kool-Aid.
But hey, at least Heaven's Gate gave out tracksuits and Nikes.

So what are some communal living/modern day cults that could give me a purpose or erase my deeply disturbed brain in a last ditch effort to survive? For real, this isn't a joke so please respond.

Following this one. But I feel like the coolest ones (NXVN, Love Has Won) would be a pay to play kind of thing unless you're an extremely hot female.

I'm looking for the same thing! I thought I was the only one!
I think part of the appeal is creating a new community with new rules and values from scratch. We could all live in a way that aligns with our spirituality and higher selves without having to worry about fitting into the dominant culture. I am so so on board please update this thread if you find anything!
I would love a safe commune or something to experiment with psychedelics and lose touch with reality rather than take my own life altogether.

I'm never heard of cool cults, I know of one Mormon one (and I'm not saying Mormons are a cult but this one is) and I really got to say I think they would take a look at the tattoos on me and go nope this dude's fucking crazy. Like shit, I would nom some Amish bush for some shepherd's pie right now but I really think they would kick me out in a heartbeat.

I honestly tried killing my brain with psychedelics and instead I experienced ego death and it's made me very pacifistic, unfortunately my situation with getting my children back can't be fixed with pacifism so I'm at the odds of ever being a monster... or walking away from the only thing I've ever known so that they have a better life.
So it's got me really fucked up.
And I'm literally just waiting for the final decision.

But I would very much love to have a little community, especially one that endorses polygamy while not being completely xenophobic.
And I'm autistic so my social skills are limited.

Yeah Mormons are definitely not cool. They were cool in the past (old west) when they ambushed settlers and massacred them for... reasons? But they don't do stuff like that anymore. Amish are cool but it looks really hard and you probably have to be born into it.

I think Amish women (IN THEIR TWENTIES AND THIRTIES) are beautiful, BUT to my understanding Amish "women" get married at like 14 and I'm totally not okay with that. I'm not going to ask them hey do you have any actual women?? Because we both know that's a surefire way to get thrown out... And what if I'm only allowed to marry an old widow?
I think either way I'm pissed off already

I might need to pray,
"LORD, if I could please just get two or three wives between the ages of 20 and 30, preferably a redhead... I'll join any cult you tell me to."
And I know they don't have polygamy but...
They have shepherd's pie

I don't think they marry at 14 because Rumspringa begins at 16. Amish are still people and they sneak cell phones, experiment with drugs and alcohol and explore their sexuality. They even have barn parties like raves. Whatever things they can't get for themselves their more worldly Mennonite allies will help them with. I've read that statistically those that join from the outside usually don't stay for very long however.

If the OP want's something with an eastern flair, ISKCON aka the Hare Krishna's might be worth looking into. Otherwise, they can look into local New Age, yoga, Wicca groups that often operate as small cults of personality.
