Please correct the "women must be submissive to their WIVES" misquote. That's not in the Bible.

I think his intetions are good and I hope he reaches thousands of people with his message, because God knows domestic violence is a horrible thing, but .... he really shouldn't be using the government email or phone to promote a religious message. It could potentially ruin his whole program with lawsuits, etc.

Attagirl...the religion portion was a reference to him, not the program. The program is for churches, because people come to churches seeking help in abusive relationships. Perhaps you should reread it...it said the program is an overview of LAWS and DYNAMICS of DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, no where did it say a sermon and last time I checked LAWS weren't religious. Church members have violence in their lives, just as others do, lest we forget the Winkler case. Church members (and everyone else really) need to know how to give assistance beyond a prayer group and a pat on the back. He's doing this as a service of the Sheriff's dept. and you want him to use him home phone, are you completely insane? What moron would post their private phone
number(s)on a public website? If he's doing this thru the department, he should use the department e-mail/phone numbers. You,(assuming you do work) wouldn't give out your home phone number to a client who could call you 24/7 at their whim disrupting your life without concern, why should anyone else?
On another note, the above mentioned Bible reference is mentioned in two locations therein. Men could take the verses out of context to mean their wives should literally submit to whatever they want, whenever they want. To those who actually know and study the Bible, read the verse(s) for what they mean, not what someone could construe them to mean.
And, the verses if anyone wants to check are:
Colossians 3:18 and Ephesians 5:22
