Of course not. A job of a believer is to teach, not condemn. If you are condemning, you have already failed yourself. You cannot fail God. The love of God is all accepting.

No....its not my place to accuse another of failing God...I have no problem pointing out an obvious action as being a sin but actually telling someone they are failing God is certainly overstepping my spiritual boundaries. God searches the reins of the heart and we do not.

Unless you are a prophet of God, how do you know that they are failing God? You don't know that. Moreover, you CAN'T know that. Judgment is God's not yours. Even if they are of another religion, or of no religion at all: you can not know the will of God.
And as a Christian myself, I am confused as to why you have insight into the Will of the Lord.
Jesus did say that one should remove the log out of ones own eye before trying to remove the splinter in someone else's eye.
Friend, is your vision at least a little blurry?

If you know a Jehovah Witness they can show you how you are failing god. What makes you so sure that you are the one who is failing?
And NO I am not a witness. Just making a point.

Only when they "come my way" in some manner or another; otherwise I am simply making a righteous judgment to someone who neither wants to hear it nor will respect the discernment presented them
Mt 7:6 "Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces.

Only if those people are wearing the "Christian" label and not living up to it. Then it's my job to.
"...preach the word; be earnest in season, out of season, convict, rebuke, exhort, in all long-suffering and teaching..." (2 Timothy 4:2)
If they are not a self-proclaimed Christian then they aren't really "failing" God because they never signed up with him in the first place.

Of course not. But I do tell them I am a Christian and if they seem interested, I will tell them more. There is nothing worse than a judgmental Christian to those who are not saved.

NO, I'm to busy trying to not fail Him myself.

No way. I have failed him enough that could be pointed out!
