You do that if they are really your friends. Tell them the truth.
There are significant differences between your god figure and galveston75's god figure, albeit rooted in more or less the same texts.
Do you believe that your god figure wants galveston75, after a long life if sincere service and piety, at his age, to endure disfellowship, ostracisation, loss of friends, disruption of family, all on account of adhering to pronouncements and urgings that you happen to make about doctrine?
Do you sincerely believe he should do that with his life and that your god figure cannot look into his heart and disagree with your ideological prescription?
What's at stake for galveston75 in your view? A neverending dose of "perfect justice"?
My question pertains to your humanity, sonship, rather than your personal theological preoccupations.
