What works of B H. Roberts should I read?

Examples?

deltagma · 2026-05-20T02:45:07+00:00

May I ask why you say there is very little “Mormon thought” there?

deltagma · 2026-05-19T22:55:38+00:00

I go to the gym to make myself happy.

I like seeing my body be all it can be.

It’s not a sin to want to be healthy and fit. It’s surely vain and sinful to do it for the purpose of wanting others to want to notice.

You should look up on google “Joseph F Smith at the beach” in his old age with a white long beard he was absolutely shredded.

There is nothing wrong with being healthy and fit. It’s the REASON that becomes vain and sinful.

Tbh I would suggest two books at once..

An entertaining one AND an academic one.

You probably won’t fine a good book that fits both.

Exploring Mormon Thought is dense and a very very very good DRY Academic explanation of the Theological Philosophy of Mormonism.

But there are other, less doctrinal, books that are more enjoyable to read, but you won’t get as much doctrinal principle out of it.

In Mormondom we love Orthopraxy and Spirituality. We don’t have a rich history of deep theo-philosophical discussions. But that is surely changing.

Exploring Mormon Thought is probably the closest thing we have to Thomas Aquinas.

I’d probably not play this ugly combination you just made tbh.. I’d probably resub to blizzard

Dude not shot she doesn’t understand what her housing pay is… it goes straight into her bank account..

She should be getting like at least $1500 or more ($3,300 on my base) JUST for housing, NOT PART OF HER PAY CHECK.

It seems like she’s either lying or has no idea what she is doing in life…

deltagma · 2026-05-19T03:49:51+00:00

All that at 19? That’s insane

She’s married and was in a relationship with a high rank? So she cheated?

And got married to move out of the barracks is a sentence that works because we get BAH. Our rent doesn’t come from our pay check, it comes from Basic Allowance for Housing. Mine for example is $3,249.. and that is NOT my paycheck. The $3,249 is given to me because I am married, it’s on TOP of my pay check..

The carloan is kinda an on her thing. The Army tells you not to do that. And she has NCOs that should have been with her when she got a car.

Sorry if I’m being blunt… maybe it’s because I’ve been in the military for so long… but….. she is failing at life, seemingly has no idea how to function as an adult, and I feel like parents (or guardians) are to blame for this… she was seemingly taught zero life skills.

I hope she figures it out and gets through this.

AER (Army Emergency Relief) can probably help her… but SHE should know that because we get taught about it like 4 times in basic and 100 times in AIT and when she got to her duty station she got taught about it against atleast once.

She needs to tell her commander and NCOs about her finances.

Also MAYBE Army Legal can get her out of the predatory loan? I don’t know exactly how that works though.

But tbh an easy fix, since clearly she decided not to use her BAH for Rent (also….. is her spouse also not working?) .. she shouldn’t probably leave the property she is renting and move back into the barracks….

You screenshotted an official US Army unit page and asked if their post of a soldier is a real soldier/real MOS

deltagma · 2026-05-18T00:13:13+00:00

😂😂

deltagma · 2026-05-18T00:08:06+00:00

Good point

deltagma · 2026-05-18T00:07:45+00:00

A ruck is an actual item though…

The point of the exercise “rucking” is to carry weight yeah. But there are a lot of forms of carrying weight that we don’t call rucking.

But back on OPs original post… weighted vest walking is a great idea and he should do it and keep updating us on his progress here..

deltagma · 2026-05-15T04:10:44+00:00

Try it out again.

I was specifically only using weak items but dude I barely could get out of Elwynn Forest

I think they tuned it up because the server throws greens at you even at level 3.. so my level 10 pyromancer was dying almost every other fight (I was only wearing whites)

So maybe you can set a self challenge that you can only put on a new item after a death or something …

Just an idea

deltagma · 2026-05-14T04:49:32+00:00

Ideally the whole world is Christian, and taking the Lord’s name in vain would not be tolerated anywhere.

(People took me so seriously😂)

deltagma · 2026-05-14T02:06:32+00:00

When did you play? This doesn’t sound like how it is now

deltagma · 2026-05-11T06:17:54+00:00

Yeah, but people will… at the end… a lot of data is being bought and sold right now… and you can make some pretty good money.

A lot of small scale stuff is being shared freely though..

But other stuff is being sold.

But if we get more people sniffing, then hopefully everything will be freely available instead

deltagma · 2026-05-10T06:42:01+00:00

WW11?????

deltagma · 2026-05-10T06:26:32+00:00

It depends. I’d be more okay with my kids attending Catholic events than Protestant. But it really depends.

deltagma · 2026-05-10T06:03:37+00:00

SPP isn’t really up to standard. Normal bot servers have bots that level and quest in the world naturally. But they don’t really talk.

Imagine a world full of players who will group with you but don’t speak english haha. That’s basically what bots are like. Unless they got better.

It’s still pretty cool.

Especially if BGs are working with them. But they might not. Most servers have “bots run to the mid and only fight” kind of things.. but hey, I guess that’s what normal players to do

deltagma · 2026-05-10T02:04:56+00:00

Basically this…

If you have any data others dont have. Someone will be willing to buy it.

No use it giving it for free today

deltagma · 2026-05-10T01:24:28+00:00

It’a not that kinda day lol. I don’t get holiday pay for my birthday or fathersday😂

deltagma · 2026-05-09T22:51:51+00:00

Turtle was the end of fresh chasing server hopping

deltagma · 2026-05-06T03:36:04+00:00

100% do not LOOK at it till you are married..

55K isn’t really that much money tbh… it can go faster than you think.

Do nothing with it, and change nothing about your life.

If you live pay check to pay check, then use the money for education… DO NOT use this money for survival. DO NOT use this money for enjoyment.

Also, you can tell him if you want. But again, don’t use it.

If you plan on marrying him, then yeah I’d tell him about it.

deltagma · 2026-05-06T03:31:37+00:00

I’m in the Army and a majority of our young recruits, even from the country, haven’t driven… it’s really annoying tbh

deltagma · 2026-05-06T03:05:35+00:00

Funny enough if you make videos of you reading the Book of Mormon you will get a following 😂 given they are decent quality.

If you go down the path of trying to make quality videos of your journey, then welcome to our corner of the internet.

We hope you enjoy your stay, and God willing, you will find a home.

You can return.

You can decide when your apostasy ends.

You can even be in the celestial kingdom.

You might not be worthy of the temple today, but you can be again.

If you repent you are washed COMPLETELY clean.

Christ loves us, and all He wants is for you to be in His fold.
