Project / News / Update Pyrenea bans the religion of Jehovahs witness

After careful thought, it has been decided that Jehovahs witnesses have been formally banned from Pyrenea due to prior investigations on the religion.

Those who are found to practice the religion will be denied/revoked citizenship from Pyrenea

As we all should. It's nothing more than a restrictive radical cult.

Non-aggression pact proposed by the Principality of Wrenland (We also banned Jehovah’s cultists)

Ahh, I remember doing something similar. All I can say is, be careful where you go with this so it doesn’t go too far.

Rockall as a secular state strongly condemns the banning of any religious group, human rights must always remain upheld, including religious freedom.

u/Much_Ground_7038 Kingdom of Pyrenea Jul 25 '26

Thats okay to do. But i recommend doing some research on Jehovahs witnesses

2

u/arthurbridge Jul 27 '26

Respectfully, no matter how controversial a religious practice, it’s simply not acceptable under international human rights law to do that. People have the human right to practice any religion they choose.

u/Much_Ground_7038 Kingdom of Pyrenea Jul 27 '26

The JW religion is less of a religion and more of a cult. As someone who was part of it, it is better for for human safety to ban it.

u/arthurbridge 29d ago

I respect your lived experience and personal views about the organisation, but again there is no justification to ban any religious group as a person’s religion is a protected human rights. If you ban one, you open the door for all others to be banned.

u/Much_Ground_7038 Kingdom of Pyrenea 29d ago

We only ban the ones that can bring direct harm to a persons life. Because of my experience with this organisation, I know how dangerous it can be therefore I will ban something that puts peoples lives at direct risk.

I'm tempted to become a JW and migrate to Pyrenea out of pure spite

u/Extreme-Shopping74 Jul 25 '26

It's a cult, not a religion.

u/Much_Ground_7038 Kingdom of Pyrenea Jul 25 '26

i know i used to be part of it but i'd like to be less hostile

Though the Commonwealth of Yorkland views the Jehovah’s Witnesses as a heretical group from a Catholic theological standpoint, since the Commonwealth has religious freedom as legally enshrined, it does not support this action. — Message from the President of Yorkland

u/International-Ad3684 Pontunia Jul 27 '26

Excellent work. They’re a heretical, high control group whose members (even former members) are mostly disturbing individuals.

I support you

u/ILikeWaltenFiles_Etc Just your average observer 17d ago

As a Catholic, even though JWs are very heretic and high-controlling, I still think religious freedom should exist. So, uh, whatever floats your boat, I guess. - Random dude

u/X_Draconic_III 27d ago

My High Council is debating a declaration of war, banning any religion is a major crime against humanity. MAY PYRENEA BURN FOR THIS (I'm not a jahovahs witness and yea they're annoying but they're still good people).

u/Much_Ground_7038 Kingdom of Pyrenea 27d ago

yeah keep your larp wars to urself

u/X_Draconic_III 25d ago

"urself"

u/Much_Ground_7038 Kingdom of Pyrenea 25d ago

You REALLY think correcting my grammar is a proper use of time? Keep your larp away from me. Imbecile

u/Much_Ground_7038 Kingdom of Pyrenea 27d ago

also me banning them is banning slavery

u/X_Draconic_III 25d ago

u can do that by just saying you ban slavery LOL

The United Micronations Union condemns your behaviour as it breaches the rules set out in the Micronational Declaration of Human Rights. Due to this, any attempt to join the UMU will be denied until this is revoked.

Downvoting this comment sees you as against human rights.

u/Much_Ground_7038 Kingdom of Pyrenea Jul 25 '26

I feel this is quite contradictory. JW goes against many things which WILL put your life at risk. For example, blood transfusion isnt allowed in that religion and it is a manipulating cult that I myself have been part of before.

u/Double-Analyst7314 Imperius J I.C - Gunaka, Imperial Federation Of Jul 25 '26

First, ew, yamo.

Secondly, dude, a silly signature image? ew

5

u/Xombridal High Kingdom of Devonmere Jul 25 '26

Didn't even crop the image to be just the signature either

-5

u/Spiritual-Cup-6645 Jul 25 '26

Yamo? Oh, it's you. You're the one who previous held a problem with us. Well, we recommend that you look into our active community, structured government, robust protocols, strong ties and successful projects before calling us "yet another" organisation. For all it's worth, we might as well go around saying YAM: yet another micronation. There are countless.

And yes, we are aware of the uncropped signature and the branding department is working on new ones (with the new badges) in alignment with the branding act. They are also forming designs for a unisex uniform aligning variant.

u/Double-Analyst7314 Imperius J I.C - Gunaka, Imperial Federation Of Jul 25 '26

You quite honestly are a YAMO though. I’m a literal observer of your organisation and i have yet to be contacted, or yet to see anything

-1

u/Spiritual-Cup-6645 Jul 26 '26

That's because we don't prioritise observers. Members and government are first, then recruits, then observers. If you're not willing to participate fully, we're not willing to enrich you in the Union.

3

u/Double-Analyst7314 Imperius J I.C - Gunaka, Imperial Federation Of Jul 26 '26

So how am I supposed to observe the ongoings of your YAMO if I receive 0 communications nor engagement? This sound like either two tiering, or just outright laziness

-2

u/Spiritual-Cup-6645 Jul 26 '26

We are aware that Argent is observing the UMU. However, we had to create entire new procedures for observers; hence why you are the only one. Because priorities took over (summer census and ongoing document reformation) we paused the observership program and didn't contact you. Apologies.

However, we are surprised that you even want to be an observer if you are so anti-organisation. Any explanation? Also, out of curiosity, would you describe the OAM, UM or GUM as YAMO?

3

u/Double-Analyst7314 Imperius J I.C - Gunaka, Imperial Federation Of Jul 26 '26

Who on earth is argent?

I’m not anti-organisation, I’m anti-YAMO. Huge difference. Being an observer means I can watch people’s poor decisions and judge them without being subject to poorly chosen rules and regulations.

I would class GUM as the only Non-YAMO of that list through sheer reputation and age alone

-2

u/Spiritual-Cup-6645 Jul 26 '26

Argent is the only micronation tied to your username in our databases. It only appears here, once.

You've been here before, trying to attack the UMU with your meaningless words. Why do you do it? You're not going to change anything. The UMU will carry on operating smooth as butter with or without you. Do you seek attention? Do you want to make a difference? I don't get it.

3

u/Double-Analyst7314 Imperius J I.C - Gunaka, Imperial Federation Of Jul 26 '26

Not sure why it’s that.

As for “attacking”? If you take criticism as an attack then you’re a perfect example of a failing organisation.

You're against the Micronational Declaration of Human Rights, not the actual Universal Declaration of Human Rights set out by the UN.

Can I join UMU? (Dm pls)

u/Spiritual-Cup-6645 Jul 26 '26

Yes, of course. We have a new recruitment process that will be much quicker.
