You are still brainwashed by an erroneous idea, koriwhore. The Mormons wanted us to believe that their cult was a community. Dogbloger is right, it was never a community for me, either. The
Not only that, but the Mormons wanted us to believe that their "community" was necessary for our survival, or happiness, EVEN our gaining entrance into the highest heaven! That's absurd.
Get rid of the idea that everyone in a group has to think alike! You will never find such a group, because a group is made up of individuals. There is only one koriwhore.
I have been single for 20 years, and I marvel that just two individuals can get along, and agree enough to live together. Children are different, because I love them unconditionally, and they are always growing and changing--and we expect them to be like children.
Which leads me to another solution to help you find "community": Don't expect too much of others.
Probably you're asking a rhetorical question, here, but I will answer you, anyway. I find community in my family and friends. Statistics show that the average man has only 1-2 real friends, and the average woman has 3-4. Mormons create a false image that they are all very popular--right? They are always fellowshipping, being aggressively friendly, bragging about how wonderful and influential they are--but in reality, they are a bunch of elitist, secretive, maladjusted weirdo's.
What you're searching for doesn't exist. Look around you, at who you already know, and there you will find friends. Everywhere, people are working at jobs, to make YOUR life better. So, talk to them. The grocery checker, the salesperson, the car mechanic, your mail deliverer, the guy who walks his dog to the same corner every day, are all potential friends.
My community is the same now as it was, when I was a Mormon. For example, when I needed a doctor, I went to see my old doctor, instead of calling in the Mormon elders for a blessing. My children have gone to good community schools, and had good teachers, and never went to their bishop or primary teacher to have their questions answered. When there's a fire, you call the firefighters. There are pharmacists and nurses to calm you down, when you're worried about a sick family member. You can call the police, and they will protect you. You can take a bus. You can even call Uber, and have a restaurant dinner brought to your door. A lot of these services are provided to you at no cost, and the others never will add up to as much as 10% of your gross income.
The Mormon cult "community" was worse than uleles--it was a drain on our finances and our energy and our joy. It does not need replacing in your life.
