Best Answer

Most members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) are fine with being called "Mormon", however some are offended by the term and prefer to be called "LDS" or "Latter-day Saint" because the full name of their church is "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints". Other than that, call them by their names!

What did the Mormons call themselves in pioneer times?

Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) have always called themselves Latter-day Saints. "Mormon" was a nickname given to them by their enemies, mocking them for their belief in the Book of Mormon. Mormons in pioneer times as well as today generally call themselves Latter-day Saints and prefer that others call them by this name as well. This title is sometimes abbreviated to LDS.


Is it legal to murder morman polygyamists?

1.) It is not legal to murder anyone. 2.) Mormons are not polygamists, the Mormon church banned polygamy over 120 years ago. Those who call themselves 'Mormon Fundamentalists' are NOT affiliated with the Mormon church and believe that the Mormon church has gone astray from the will of God. 3.) Logically, you can't murder something that doesn't exist.


Is the Book of Mormon wrong?

That is up for you to decide. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the 'Mormon' church) believe that the Book of Mormon is scripture, that it testifies of Jesus Christ, and that it should be used side-by-side with the Bible. Many who are not Mormon, however, believe that the Book of Mormon is a total fraud and that it is an abomination. Mormons ask that anyone interested should read the Book of Mormon, sincerely pray to God asking if it is true, and make their own decision about whether it is a true scriptural account, or whether it is false. They believe that this personal witness is essential, and that each person should know for themselves. If you would like to read the Book of Mormon and form your own opinion, visit the "Related Links" below. Here you may read a digital version of the Book of Mormon, listen to it on MP3, purchase a copy, or request a free copy to be brought by the missionaries. Mormon missionaries also offer to meet with you (free of charge) to help you study and understand the Book of Mormon.

What is the new name that Mormons are called?

Actually, "Mormon" is the new name. The official name of the church is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This has been their official name since 1838. Prior to this they were sometimes known as the Church of Christ (1830-1834) or as the Church of Latter Day Saints (1834-1838). The title "Mormon" was a nickname given to them by their enemies, mocking them for their belief in the Book of Mormon. Mormons have since embraced the name and accept "Mormon" as an appropriate, although informal, nickname. However, Mormons still prefer to be called "Latter-day Saints" or "LDS" rather than "Mormon". Generally, it is acceptable to call the followers "Mormons", but it is not appropriate to call the church the "Mormon Church".


Do Mormon girls shave?

Mormon theology does not address the issue of whether or not women should shave. Mormon women try to behave and dress modestly. With that stipulation, it seems unlikely most women would discuss the subject -- except, perhaps, with their husbands or physicians.


Why was cedar city the first non Mormon in Utah?

I would definitely not call Cedar City the first non-Mormon town in Utah. Cedar City was established by Mormons in 1851 and has had a Mormon majority population ever since.Several other towns in Utah were "non-Mormon" towns, such as Ogden (established by fur trappers a year before the Mormons arrived) and Park City (originally settled by Mormons but became a mostly non-Mormon mining town in the 1860's).


Should you tell your Mormon missionary you are in love with him before he gets transferred to another area?

No. You should not be romantically involved with a Mormon missionary. Period. He is on his mission to serve God, and not to be out dating or flirting with women on his mission. Wait until he is done with his mission if you have feelings for him.


What are people called if they don't like Mormons?

If they don't like Mormons, you would probably call them "bigots". If they don't like the teachings of the Mormon religion, you would call them 'Anti-Mormons'.
