I'm not positive on the doctrine, but I prefer they can't crawl or walk away. I imagine the missionaries are less picky, however.

It is very difficult to read your posts tb. I really don't have a dog in this fight but you come across like a slimy politician always dodging the question with another question.
I doubt you really believe truth is relative. I would guess that you believe that a person's perception of the truth is relative. The 2 concepts are very different. Truth exists independent of belief. wait, let's look at what a test of your hypothesis that truth is relative would uncover: 1.) I decide to keep and store massive amounts of shit. 2.) I believe that shit and gold are the same. (my shit has now becomes gold because of my belief) 3.) Anyone want to buy my shit? The idea that truth is relative is obsurd.

1. JS was bent on building Zion somewhere either Ohio, Missouri, or Illinois. 2. Missouri was the frontier in the mid-19th century. 3. Early Mormons believed that the 2d Coming was imminent. Given those facts, is it any wonder that JS and others believed that Christ would come again to Missouri? Today, the first two are no longer true. As for the third, while many LDS believe the 2d coming is still imminent (and many probably opening hope for the 2d coming to cleanse the earth of "wickedness"), I suspect many LDS no longer believe it is imminent. That's just my .02.
