This is why I believe I lean towards a more open door, large tent policy, multiple chance provided plan, instead of the LDS dogma plan presented by missionaries across the world.
I believe one church has authority, but that many have much truth, and many will lead to further light and knowledge.

If it is odd, at least it is consistant. Even in Jesus' day, he would deliberately withhold information from the rest of the world when they were not ready to receive it. He taught in "deliberately and institutionally opaque" parables, insisted on lessons punctuated by the "he who has ears to hear, let him hear" statement, and left his disciples in confusion time and time again. If you're worried that the Latter Day Saint church doesn't give you all of the answers at once, you can at least take comfort in the fact that you're in good company.
