Just call the COB! Ask for the apostle's office and when a staff member answers, ask for the email address. If you are asked why you want it, tell him or her that you want to forward links to cat videos.

I swear I saw a list floating around on this forum once... It was a long time ago and it would not surprise me if the information was removed for liability reasons or something.

Sorry I can't be more helpful. I'm not even sure that the church makes it possible for apostles to be contacted directly by the regular unwashed folk.

and gotten back form type letters telling them to contact their local "authorities".

Yea, but aren't just those letters to 50 north temple? What if you wanted to write to a specific general authority? Like, MRusselNelson@lds.net or something like that?

I hope that's not his actual address.

I am talking about snail mail. But I doubt if an email addy would get you any different answer.

My experience is that lawyers within corporations insulate themselves from email accounts where their actions and communications can be "discovered" if a legal issue arises. I suspect this is true of the twelve. They have a charming secretary who receives the communications and delivers a collated and correlated summary to them each morning. Also consider all but about 3 of these people are of the age where they never used email in their professional lives before becoming holy.

I asked my sister if she remembers what that letter said just a few years ago. She said she doesn't, only that it was horrible. She said it was such a HORRIBLE time (she knew a little, but not much) that she just doesn't think about that time nor does she remember. She is 17 months older than I am. She was married with 3 kids.

That was 1983 or 1984 I believe. My "friend" had read "To The One" and he told me to write to Boyd. He was a leader in the church, but not my bishop. He was a friend at work. So I did write to Boyd and I got a reply FROM BOYD. I've talked about it many times. I burned it before I married my "husband." It gave me a dark feeling every time I noticed it in my glove compartment in my car. Only 3 people read it. My sister, her husband, and me. I only realized in the past few years that the reason I didn't show anyone is he was so horrible in what he said to me and about me that I was afraid to show it to anyone else including the person who told me to write to him.

I have talked about it being a horrible letter, but I had forgotten how he portrayed me and how I didn't dare let anyone read it. My family never fit in well in mormonism and this just told me how I wasn't worth anything.

But it was from him. NO DOUBT. It was too personal to not be.

Later on, when my husband told me he was cheating, he wrote to Monson. We got a form letter back that time.

several layers of Gatekeepers

this way, they're not told of church problems;

Plausible Deniability!

Just contact them through their Grindr or Ashley Madison Profile

You know their aliases?

not.gonna.happen.


they have layers of Gatekeepers, they don't want to deal with the unwashed masses, ya know.

oldrichwhitemanwhotalkstogodaboutbathroomsandgays@lds.org

they have 'secret' gmail accounts...

Can you guess who was BackDoorMan44(@)gmail.com?

I wrote a letter to Henry B Eyring once (don't ask me why, it's embarrassing.. it was a TBM matter)

He wrote a nice letter back. Wished me well in my up and coming wedding. I still have it somewhere. I wonder if he cried as he wrote it.

Anyway, it was in the days before emails. I don't think you can get past a filter now.

With about five lines of code, it would be easy to send then ten or twenty thousend e-mail messages telling them how messed up their religion is.

The general rule is that the top leadership/GA's don't reply to members letters, emails, etc, phone calls. This is a policy that was instituted some years ago. Everything sent to them is forwarded to the local authorities.

As far as I know, the general format is SurnameInitials@lds.org

For example, oaksdh@lds.org or hollandjr@lds.org or kearonp@lds.org (an example of one who doesn't have a middle initial)

That said, there is no guarantee the GA in question is the one who actually reads the e-mails...

Why bother?

I have written the President of the United States, but I can’t write to the President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints?! I received a letter back from the President of the United States. I am sure it was a form letter, but still.

Of course you can. His mailing address is 47 E South Temple, SLC, UT. He’ll never see it and you’ll get a form letter response, but that’s what you got from POTUS.

You expect them to respond to an unknown minion when they consider themselves to be above every person on the planet?

I read somewhere the first rule of the newly called apostle is not to bother "Dad" at work, EVER!

-That's something similar to my former mission president- "If you ever leave the mission boundaries- just keep going. And for the rest of you who may find yourselves in trouble, don't call me. I don't want to be bothered."
