I'll just leave this here:
Greetings from Charlotte,
When a pebble is thrown into water, concentric waves emanate from the point of entry. I often tell our teens and young adults that they can be pebbles of purity and example in the Church and in the world. This is why we have youth programs—camps, Living Education, and Living 4 Tomorrow—to encourage them to live a life very different from that in the world. I also point out to our young people that, whether for good or bad, they will be examples. Each person who catches the vision can become a good example—not by self-righteously preaching, but by courageously living God’s way of life. Of course, the “pebbles in a pond” analogy applies to all of us. Is this not what Jesus meant when He said, “You are the salt of the earth” and “You are the light of the world” (Matthew 5:13–16)? Do we consider this in how we drive, how we dress, the language we use, how we entertain ourselves, how diligent we are in our employment, and how we treat others in our everyday encounters with them? A lot is happening in our world, and we don’t have time to waste when it comes to allowing Christ to form Himself in us.

We had wave pools in Physics Lab, and studied many aspects of wave activity and theory. If you drop anything straight down on a body of still water, it will create these concentric circles. The dropped object does not need to be a pebble. Even a drop of water will produce the circles.
There are probably better analogies or metaphors to be made involving skipping stones across the water than those based upon the dropping of a pebble. Perhaps those would be too complex for Weston's mind (or his followers).
LCG lives are really no different than the attitudes and mannerisms of the world. Hopefully the youth will have a greater vision and impact than the olders in that organization. It’s just a bunch of power hungry control freaks.
I guess that would have made GTA ... "THE BAM BAM OF PURITY! "
Weston preaches about purity and pretends his pet camp project is a bastion of purity. I had a sister that made the mistake of believing the Weston narrative and went to his summer camp. She was shocked at the levels of immorality she witnessed and saw Weston and LCG as phonies after that. I saw Weston as a phony when I ran into a few cases of pedophiles that Weston and henchminsters covered up for. Purity is a lie that Weston uses to sell himself lording over others.
" we don’t have time to waste when it comes to allowing Christ to form Himself in us"
Why is why I do not listen to Weston.
