They never joined. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the official name of the church. Mormon is just a nickname that happens to be more widely known than the actual name. The name "Mormon" was given to the Church by their enemies, meant to mock them for their belief in the Book of Mormon. Latter-day Saint, LDS, and Mormon are interchangeable.

How do you stop Mormon callers?
Join their church
Are Mormon women allowed to join the Eastern Star?
Yes. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) are welcome to participate in fraternal organizations so long as it does not have an effect on their obligation and service to the Church. In order to join the Order of the Eastern Star, a woman must be over 18 and be related to a man who is a Mason.
Shoud you become Mormon?
If you believe that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" Church) is the true Church of God on the earth, then yes, you should! However, you should not join the Church (or any Church) to please family or friends, or to receive humanitarian aid. Joining a Church should be a sincere, personal decision.
When are converts officially a Mormon?
Those interested in converting to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) will first be 'investigators' of the Church. This means that they are currently investigating or studying the church to see if they would like to join. "Investigating" the Church includes attending worship services and congregational activities as well as having regular discussions or lessons with missionaries. When an 'investigator' decides that they would like to convert, they may request baptism. Following baptism, they will officially be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints - a Mormon!
Does the Mormon church financial support the sister wives?
Most definitely not. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) banned polygamy over 100 years ago. The Church does not provide financial support to any sister-wife. The Church will provide in-kind help (food, clothing, emergency supplies, job training, etc) to people outside of their faith who apply for assistance. If you are speaking of the Sister Wives tv show, no. The Browns of the tv show are not members of the Mormon Church. Both Kody and Janelle left the Mormon Church to join the Apostolic United Brethren. Their church may provide financial support, but the Mormon church does not.
Why are there black Mormon's?
Because people of all races are welcome to join the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church). If someone feels that the Church is correct, regardless of their ethnicity or the color of their skin, they are welcome to be baptized and become a member of the Church. The Church teaches that all people are beloved children of God and all, regardless of race, color, or disability, are loved equally by God!
Who were the travelers on the Mormon trail?
Tens of thousands of people traveled on the Mormon trail between 1845 and 1870 (when the train became the more common mode of transportation). Most of these were converts to Mormonism who desired or were encouraged to join with the main body of the church in Utah. Obviously they can't all be listed here. The History Department of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints maintains a list of Mormon immigrants who traveled on the Mormon trail, click here to see it.

Do people join the Mormons to be a part of their community but leave once they figure out it is not true?
Yes. People leave the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) every day - thousands leave the Church each year. This is a very common thing. If you join the Church and then decide you no longer want to be a member, you can simply stop attending services. You may also choose to have your name officially removed from church records, simply ask the bishop of your congregation to do so.
Who is Alex Joseph in the Mormon faith?
Alex Joseph was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) for about four years, between 1965 and 1969. After this he left the Mormon church to join a fundamentalist polygamist religious group in Montana, which he was soon kicked out of for marrying four women of different religions (two Catholics, a Methodist, and a Presbyterian) without the consent of the group's leader. He went on to form his own polygamist religious group called the Confederate Nations of Israel and founded the city of Big Water in Utah.
