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.

Honestly I might want to join the Amish/mennoties because I do believe in Christ. Maybe the fundamentalist mormons but I only know the NON cultist funda Mormons.(I.e. they believe in polygamy but don't enforce it as any sort of obligation) And If I'm joining a cult I might as well be given a dog, some wives (or husbands? ) at the gate and a shotgun and a trailer at the gate.

That's all I want fr.

I tried to join a christian cult but it was boring, only made me hate life even more and be afraid of death.

What are you looking for in a cult? What would have made it a worthwhile experience to you?

Not to hop in but personally... Either a family structure (here's your wife and kids and dog and your job) or the orgies at five, and dinner's at 4 and don't forget your free nikes. Basically either the illusion of permanency or free swag and free living.

I always thought I should do something crazy before the suicide. A trip somewhere open a new cc and blow it all. I'm for the most part responsible so that would be considering fun and crazy for my standards.

Idk most people on here are anti-fun. But personally, I'd be up for meetups. We could have a festival in the desert somewhere sort of like burning man, but for suicidal people.

I suggested doing something fun before in a post like you mentioned, but 90% were against me because they felt that might give them a reason to live... Shit you only hear on SanctionedS

Yeah, I think there's a reason people get institutionalized when they go to jail/prison.
It may not be glamorous being a human hamster...
But it's convenient and it's a lot easier then micromanaging 50 different things and trying to survive on an inadequate wage.

I have zero direction in my life, so I probably would like to join something like a cult, but I fear I would never be targeted or selected as I don't have any money to fund the group- what use to a cult leader is a follower who can't provide anything? I'm also not religious and I find it very hard to worship any sort of higher power, so I would probably be overly critical of any doctrine. Embarrassingly enough, I feel as though I'm too useless to even be a cult member.

When I first saw Midsommar I felt so envious over the main character, who had dozens of people capable of empathizing with her in some of the deepest and most vulnerable ways possible. I felt so embittered because never once in 24 years have I ever had anything remotely similar happen to me. If there was ever a person in the real world who could truly make an attempt to understand me and validate the way that I feel about the world, I would 100% blindly follow them until my time to CTB comes. So long as they provided the method and wouldn't order me to do something painful, I would even CTB however they would want. I have fantasized about that a lot. I call it a "Suicide Sponsor".

 

[escape_from_hell]

I wish there was a cult where billionaires chose us to be their special treatment lambs and treated us to an amazing life of luxury and pampering, parties drugs etc. Until a chosen night of sacrifice, wherein our gourmet food and drink are sacred sacraments of fentanyl, benzos, nembutal, whatever, some kinda ultimate peaceful cocktail, and we unknowingly drift off in a loving haze. And we are honored and cherished in the cult for making the world just a little less crowded.

I've never stepped foot in a church but I've thought so much about being in one. I have always liked the idea of giving myself entirely to something better and letting something else think for me as my body just runs on whoever pilots it and my mind sits in the background.

Honestly that sounds like some submissives I've met. Some of them actually enjoy me picking out their clothes and telling them what they're allowed to wear... I always thought it was kind of weird but now I kind of see a little clearer where it comes from. So thanks for that.

Not to be a Debbie downer, but all of that almost always comes with the cost of selling your soul, being brainwashed, abused (psychologically, sometimes physically or sexually), and being made to do the same to others to keep in good favor. And there's always the threat of being thrown out into the street, homeless and ostracized if you step out of line or the guy in charge is having a bad day. Seems like such a high cost for a superficial sense of "purpose" and "belongingness" to me
