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.

What do Mormons call non Mormons?

Most Mormons are not mean in calling non Mormons names. When referring to non Mormons, they are usually called non members. It's not to offend people, it's just when you're classifying all non Mormons, you have to say something. Former Church President Gordon B. Hinckley suggested called non Mormons "Friends of other faiths" as a kinder-sounding term, but it didn't really catch on. ^^Good answer. When referring to someone who is not a member of the church we call them non members. If they are a member but hardly ever go we just call them inactive. Its not in anyway to offend anyone.

Why do Mormons get away with the practice of polygamy?

Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormons) have not practiced polygamy since 1890. Anyone found doing so is excommunicated from the Church. There is a break-off group called the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (FLDS) who call themselves Mormons but are not associated with the original Mormon church (or its practices) beyond the name; this group still believes in and practices polygamy.
