Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) do not isolate themselves from society. They live in regular homes and neighborhoods, have regualar jobs, and attend regular (usually public) schools. They shop at regular stores, use modern technology and transportation, and blend in with most others in their nation or community. Mormons do not live in closed societies because they believe that it is their duty to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with everyone they come in contact with - they can't do that if they don't come in contact with people! Their church services are always open to the public and they are always excited to share their beliefs with others.
Maybe you are thinking of the Amish? They live in closed societies and shun most modern conveniences.

Why were the people persecuting the mormens?
People are naturally hostile against those who appear 'different' from themselves. Mormons are persecuted by people who believe that they are too different to be accepted into society. Historically, the worst persecution was in the 1830's and 1840's, when Mormons were forced from their homes four times - in New York, Ohio, Missouri, and Illinois. Often this was because the local residents were afraid that Mormons would become the majority and sway local politics. Also many people did not like that Mormonism was not a traditional Christian religion. Today, persecution against Mormons is mostly done by those who misunderstand the teachings of the church or by those who disagree with the conservative standards of Mormons.
