I'd rather try to encourage, dear brother, one on one, involved where I can be, than to shame them. There are times for Godly Sorrow, but I find that shaming people too much might make them avoid you, and hide from you. Then how can they confess anything to you?
Your message is right. Your frustration, however, yeilds a bitter fruit. I simply advise caution.
Christ could have come to condemn and judge, and indeed, one day His return will be for that very purpose. He did, like you, point out their weaknesses. He did not need to be harsh beyond that. Often, He followed what he showed them to be wrong (many times they already knew) with gentle and direct advise.
Be like the Shepherd.
Blessings,
Mel
