Interesting that you say "most truth", because the Church teaches it has "the Truth" in fact the only truth and somehow it cannot waver. Recently there was a USA Today article that mentioned that even if the members do not admit it they do see the leaders as infallible. However neither of those are my concerns because those same claims are also give by other religions especially the Roman Catholics, Muslims and Jehovah Witnesses. My concern is in the constant changing in saying this is Doctrine and then a few years passes and that is not Doctrine.
When I say we have the "most truth" it's because we already know that part of the Book of Mormon was sealed to be revealed at a later time, and pages were lost from the Book of Lehi. I say it because we know that more will be revealed through direct revelation. Article of Faith #9 states that we believe all that God has revealed, does now reveal, and that He may yet reveal "many great and important things" pertaining to His kingdom. So, in my opinion, that means we don't have "all" the truth. Much is yet to be revealed. What we do have is "enough" truth to perform necessary work in the temples and in our stakes.
Of course religions in general claim to have all the truth. They believe the *one book* that they have their hands on, whether it's the Quran or the Bible, is the only acceptable source of God's word. They aren't even considering other texts, either because their one prophet didn't write them, or they were voted out of the canon of books we call scripture at the council of Nicaea.
Yes, I agree, changing doctrine is disturbing. We can't just blindly follow anyone at this stage of history. There is too much deception and outright false doctrine. We at least have the knowledge that this church was established by God's prophet Joseph Smith. We have modern-day scripture. We have counsel to pray about what our prophets preach to us so that we can know whether it's true for ourselves. We have temples available to us for deeper understanding. We have to plant our feet and take a stand for the truth.
Isn't that contradiction though? If changing Doctrine is disturbing how at the same time can we be sure what to follow? It is like saying here is the rule book - study it, but don't commit it to memory because its based on who says the rule book is correct, and then check back in a few days because the rules might change and you have to study it all over again.
I am looking at all the Threads we have here as a whole and not just one particular Topic. There are things that do not make sense even from the beginning. There are practices done now where for me I see people calling it 'inspiration' or 'revelation' and yet you can see clearly it is not. I also look for miracles, this is something I do not see shown a lot in the Church. Miracles talked about include doctors and subtle things that can happen anyway, nothing like what we read in the scriptures that are supposed to be seen now. Something is not right.
Too soon for miracles? That is not Doctrinal or I should say there is no mention of a special time for miracles. It is supposed to happen regularly by them who claim to have direct authority from God. Nephi said that angels visited him DAILY! Our leaders won't even be willing to mention such a thing.
Information about the Church, both the past and current changes, are becoming more in the center of everyone's eyes especially due to the current US election campaign. As many put it... There is a new generation of Mormon on the block. Read this: Source 4

Comments: No, we can't take what the prophet says alone but at the same time we are told that the prophet will not lead us astray. Its sort of like this... The Lord says this is my mouthpiece (The prophet) and I'm so confident in him that if you compare it with my doctrine and with the help of the spirit you will know the truth. So its not just a matter of the prophet saying so but its also the spirit confirming it.
