Talk:The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in New Zealand

Mormon myths and miracles
I'm LDS so I'm not sure how neutral I am here, but the "It is said that Matthew Cowley..." thing seems a bit wierd. Why is it a myth and what is notable about his being assigned to translate LDS scriptures? Dakane2 (talk) 22:40, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
 * I agree. The information was already in a previous section about the translation, so I removed it from the "myths and miracles" section. I also renamed the section. Rachel Helps (BYU) (talk) 17:12, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

Orphaned references in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in New Zealand
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in New Zealand's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "newsroom": From The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Australia:  From Gordon B. Hinckley:  From The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints membership statistics (Canada):  From The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Tonga:  From The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in New Caledonia:  From The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Vanuatu:  From The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Hawaii:  From The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Federated States of Micronesia: </li> <li>From The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in French Polynesia: </li> <li>From The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Kiribati: </li> <li>From The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Fiji: </li> <li>From The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Marshall Islands: </li> <li>From The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Nauru: </li> <li>From The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Papua New Guinea: </li> <li>From The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints membership statistics: </li> <li>From The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints membership statistics (United States): </li> <li>From The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Palau: </li> </ul>

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 10:23, 7 November 2021 (UTC)

“Indoctrinate”
I’m also LDS, but I do think it is very obviously biased that the word “indoctrinate” is used. I did change this, but it seems to have been reverted. I do not want to be involved in an edit war, so I did not change it again. If anyone thinks that the word is not biased, please let me know why. DORITO BOSS (talk) 00:54, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

I agree with you. This is a very biased word. VMDraper (talk) 01:08, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
 * It's a proselytising religion. That's an entirely appropriate word.- gadfium 01:17, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
 * One can be indoctrinated but not converted. Someone in the group might change a belief but not get baptized and indoctrinate covers all that are influenced by teachings. Influence might be a more suitable word to describe the situation, but I'm good with whatever the remaining consensus comes up with - as long as it's correctly defines the situation.-- Dmm1169 (talk) 07:55, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Indoctrinate means "to teach false doctrine" There is an obvious bias. Influence is a better word. I'm going to change it if no one else will. VMDraper (talk) 14:35, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
 * The word does not imply the doctrine is false. What dictionary are you using?- gadfium 17:16, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
