Do You Try To Speak The Truth To Your Parents, Or Let Them Be?

Wondering if anyone has some thoughts/input on what, if anything, to say to elderly parents who have been in the LC for decades and wouldn't be able to begin to fathom or attribute to the "wonderful church life" the majority of what is written on this site.

Do you try to explain to them the error, knowing that you might be bringing to them the dark realization that they've spent their entire life in a lie, and there's not really enough time left in their life to redeem it?

Or do you let them continue in their self-delusion, ignorance is bliss, thinking they are in the one unique best place in God's move?

I would "let them think what they think" except for the nagging thought that I don't know how God will judge the people who wholeheartedly looked down on the rest of the body of Christ, divided themselves from other believers, clung to Witness Lee as their source rather than to God, etc, etc....

Is the LC a breeding ground for the verse about "...not everyone who says Lord Lord......"?
