  Skydiving/Parachuting. A disfellowship offense?

  by stealthmode-brazil in

  i'm an active witness from brazil (who would leave if it weren't for my family/friends inside) and always dreamed about practicing skydiving.

  but as radical sports are a no-no for witnesses... i wonder if any elder or ex-elder on this forum knows if an active jw, practices skydiving/parachuting once and/or regularly, can he or she be disfellowship on that basis?

  i'm considering secretly jumping but afraid if someone finds out.

  blondie, interestingly, in the article you brought up, when talking about skydiving and other sports, they say it's a "sport" (in quotes). As if it were a "pseudo-sport".

  blondie, so it's not a df offense. If I got caught, I would only not be used for "privileges" in the KH. That's what I understand from your article posted. So it's like a Witness joining the police.

  Statistically, parachuting is much less dangerous than driving a car in a big city like São Paulo or Rio. (Brazil has high traffic death rates) So I don't understand the illogical WT reasoning.

  "religion is a snare and a racket".

  It's Ok for you to sincerely examin your religion/beliefs. (Only for those who aren't JW's)

  Hi. I'm an active Witness from Brazil (Who would leave if it weren't for my family/friends inside) and always dreamed about practicing skydiving. But as radical sports are a no-no for witnesses... I wonder if any elder or ex-elder on this forum knows if an active JW, practices skydiving/parachuting once and/or regularly, can he or she be disfellowship on that basis? I'm considering secretly jumping but afraid if someone finds out. Thanks.
