base jumps, extreme sports? Can one be disfelowshipped or marked if one does so?

as usual the JWs give me their rhetoric instead of answering a question forthrightly. They know what I mean but always play dumb and take issue with terms. just an answer, yes or no is sufficient.

If we want to we can...I already told you that...no one forces us to do their will . We all have free will. And many do engage in dangerous sports. I know many that go snow skiing each year. And a lot of young ones love roller coasters.
If I get a hankering to drive a race car I will....knowing that my life is precious to God and I should not take the chance of ending it with a thrill sport.

We are to have a healthy fear of displeasing God. So we try to live by bible principles.

when Satan tempted Jesus in the wilderness after his baptism while he was fasting....Satan told Jesus to jump off a tall embankment , that God would save him....Jesus said...The Holy Writings say....Do not put Jehovah your God to the test.

So we don't.
