Here's what Boyd had to say about the one true and living church
http://lds.org/ensign/1985/11/the-only-true-church?lang=eng--
One doctrine presents a particular challenge. It is our firm conviction that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is, as the revelations state, “the only true and living church upon the face of the whole earth.” (D&C 1:30.)
This doctrine often generates resistance and repels the casual investigator.
...
and
Some have recommended that we confine ourselves strictly to evidences of the gospel: happy family life, and temperate living, and so on.
Could we not use the words better or best? The word only really isn’t the most appealing way to begin a discussion of the gospel.
If we thought only in terms of diplomacy or popularity, surely we should change our course.
But we must hold tightly to it even though some turn away.
It is little wonder that our missionaries are sometimes thought to be overbearing, even when they are most courteous.
...
and
Brethren and sisters, never be ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Never apologize for the sacred doctrines of the gospel.

Or you can just chuck them.
