Irish teacher jailed for third time over transgender pronoun dispute

[Michie]

An Irish teacher at the center of a transgender pronoun controversy was jailed for the third time on Monday after defying a court order to stay away from the school that dismissed him.

The High Court in Dublin ordered Enoch Burke’s committal for contempt after he persisted in appearing at Wilson’s Hospital School in County Westmeath, violating an injunction barring him from the premises, the Irish Times reported.

Burke is an evangelical Christian. He was suspended in August 2022 for refusing to use a transgender student’s preferred pronouns. Though later dismissed, he has appealed the termination and — according to media reports — remains on the school’s payroll pending the outcome.

The long-standing case involves over 400 days already spent in prison — and ongoing legal battles.

End this madness

madness , otherwise also called insanity .
SO how do you suppose we end insanity .
specially when even the churches keep doing the same things over and over again , repeatingover and over again
believing and thinking this will end the madness . WHEN clearly it hasled to the increase of madness .
THE CURE .
End the methods of what they THINK has been so loving and so tolerant , and actually start preaching biblical doctrine
and correcting the sins and errors , rather than allowing it to remain and hugging everything to more madness .
ITS TIME for the church to make a stand and use the biblical pattern FIRST GIVEN and LEFT TO US .
otherwise , madness will only increase into greater madness as the leaven swallows them up whole .
correction is not sin .
to say something that is sin is a sin , ITS NOT A SIN TO DO SO .
this so called judge not tolerance led to one thing .
IT was used to SILENCE the TRUTH and the mouths of those who spoke said truth
by accusing them as being judgmental and those they corrected as being victims .
WHEN WE GONNA LEARN mans ways DONT WORK and that rather WE NEED TO DO
as the true apostels did . WHO I know were INSPIRED and led by GOD and HIS CHRIST .
ITS CORRECTION TIME .

 

[frienden thalord]

SHHH say nothing
SHHH just hug them
SHHH dont correct error and sin , rather just get along and hug .
HOW DID that WORK OUT CHURCH .
IT led it a little leaven GOING INTO BIG LEAVEN . just like paul warned the church . WHEN o WHEN
are we gonna return to the biblical pattern . DONT we know men are not wiser than GOD .
And that GOD led the apostels to do correction . COme now let us reason together and get back in that bible and fast .

I say lets keep it simple .
We ought to be more concerned with what OFFENDS GOD
rather than trying to please men and not offend men .
FOR I were the servant of men i would not be the servant of Christ . Now who said that , or who wrote that .
FOR if i sought to PLEASE man i would not be the servant of CHRIST . PAUL DID .
and though he was not of the orginal twelve , HE STILL was an apostel none the less who still did teach much good .
MIchie , IF folks dont return to the orginal GOD inspired sciptures in that bible and do some learning for themselves
and leaders dont start teaching those reminders , GUESS what , ITS ALL GOING CRASH and BURN .
Folks we make our stand now or the river of this current madness is gonna take it all down . and i mean within the churches too .

I'm more convinced than ever that when clown's die, they become demons and that finally too many clowns died becoming demons.

So now we have clown world.

Isnt it rather odd that a clown paints himself up to appear not as a man but as a clown figure .
While i dont share you testimony about clowns dying and becoming demons
i do agree , in part with this being a clown world . cause it sure seems to be we have us grown men dressing up as women
and women as men and etc . portrayingthemselves to be something THEY ARE NOT .

End this madness

Would you like to hear something very simple and very interesting .
I watched a transgender debating another christain on a show .
Now the transgender said something REAL intersting .
They said , he , not she , but he said
HOW can GOD be wrong . HE dont make mistakes . WHY would he put those thoughts into my head
that i was not a boy but rather should be a girl . and of course the transgender crowd cheered .
And sadly the christain debating did NOT have the answer .
BUT I DID . the second i watched that show i had the answer .
YOU know what i would have told that transgender when he said that .
I would have said , I DO agree with you , GOD does not make mistakes
so what makes You THINK he made a mistake in that he created you in the womb as a boy .
BINGO .
That rather them voices you thought you heard , THEY WERE NOT and COULD NOT have been coming from GOD
cause GOD , as you so rightly said , DONT MAKE MISTAKES .

It's such a shame what happened to poor Catholic Ireland.

If someone doesn't want to respect your "pronoun" move on, get over it.

The world does not revolve around you.

The 'inclusive' people says: 'i'll force you to use my pronouns or go to jail', what tolerance am i right.

They only tolerate those who agree with them. Such a shame.

It is absolute craziness. Why should we all be forced to go along with their delusions when they contradict our beliefs and disregard reality?

Sounds like learned behavior from when christian churches had the social power and were doing the same thing. At least no one is being burnt at the stake, or drowned, pulled out of churches and hosed, or whatnot.

What's your point? Those who did those behaviors are long dead. They passed through judgment.

Those who do not accept LGBT ideology aren't being hateful or persecuting others. We just want to do what is best for ourselves and our society- a nuclear family where a man and his wife will thrive with their children.

Regrettably, it doesn't work like that.

I am a Christian, when I say that or talk about the gospel people associate me with everything every other Christian has done. It doesn't matter if I'm not catholic, what the pope says matters, that there are sexual perverts in every tradition of christianity .. it affects the message of everyone speaking it.

In the same way, with learned behavior, all one can do is correct it slowly over time by treating people like Jesus taught us to in the gospels.

I'm a bit confused by your post.

What doesn't work?

We can share the gospel with others, but if they accept it or not is their choice.

Try living in the UK now, it's sad.

I can't say I'm surprised. I heard Wales is actually the most liberal of those four countries.

According to them, trans women ARE women because they "identify" as such.

It's nonsense.

 

[Gregory Thompson]

You are not in the minority, and that's part of the problem.

Being persecuted because of the gospel is one thing, being persecuted due to bad behavior is something else.

So?

I'm not doing any bad behavior.

Refusal to call a male a "she" or vice versa isn't "bad behavior." Just because they're a minority doesn't mean they are right or deserve special privilege.

Unless, this post is tongue in cheek.

Well, if you're part of a group that has been historically persecuted by another group, and that group continues to vote on issues that would restrict or take away your rights ... the reaction of any human would be obvious.

And that's what's happening.

The church by default indoctrinates when it gets in control, so they're proactively doing the same thing to avoid future harm.

What rights?

A man pretending to be a woman has rights to his delusion?

I don't think so.
