This guy is courageous. I was part of a United Methodist Women that brought the issue up publicly in our local church. You have been appalled at the number of elderly ladies who came up to me and discreetly said things like “People need too know about this.”

Churches have long been part of the problem with the submit to the husband tired old line. I inform them all that means is first, find a man who submits to God, then find a way to get along with him.

I disagree

If he was really brave, he’d have reported BOTH sides of the DV situation.

No one deserves to be abused.... not even men.

This guy is courageous.

While I know that many men are scumbags, so are many women. Ever hear of false accusations during divorce or child custody hearings? Happens all the time. And when proven false, women never pay the price.

I speak from experience.

You're a lawyer. That explains your position. How much money have you made by trashing guys like me?

You are part of the problem with America. Real conservatives will put you out of business someday.

Spousal abuse witin the greater part of Christendom is surely a
real phenonmenon and needs to be dealt with.

But I happened into a strangley different church environment
that seemed to be the polar opposite of the husband-abusing-wife
norm.

I don't know if it's a difference in theology or inter-generational
change...but the Church of Christ I grew up in seemed to be full
of husbands kept on very short leases by their spouses.

My mom, in a moment of candor, told me that it wasn't the elders
and deacons that ran our congregation...it was the wives of the
elders and deacons that called all the shots.

And this was in 1960s-1970s Bible-Belt, Rock-Ribbed-Republican,
Conservative-to-the-right-of-Curtis LeMay Oklahoma.
