Don't do as some have done.
Don't waste your life prospects serving the demonsed bastards who lead the JW cult.

Welcome, Snowboarder!
I hope your dreams come true. My son is a snowboarder too, but not as good as you must be!
You are close to being an adult, so whatever life brings you, don't let anyone else make your choices for you.

Welcome Snowboarder.
Keep hold of your Olympic dream & dont let them take it away. Work out how your can stand on your 2 feet financially, and move out. There is no way they will leave you alone to make your own decisions whilst you are under there roof. Get out, Stay out & realise you've had a lucky escape.
What ever you do, dont lose sight of your dreams and end up wasting all your years to JWdom. I lost 22 years, & I really wish I could turn back the clock.
Big Hugs because your going to need it :)

SNOWBOARDER- Welcome to the board friend ! Please keep pursuing your dreams. I was raised a JW ( I'm early 50's now ) and I was not allowed to play on the High School baseball team due to practice being on Tuesday meeting nights. I was not allowed to get a college education - although having a 3.6 grade point average in High School. So I've been self employed in a cleaning business almost 30 years. You are 18 - you have your WHOLE life ahead of you. Make the best of it with your talents ! Look forward to hearing more from you. Take care of yourself
