Yet they can hold endless trainings filled with esoteric and objective theology totally useless to most normal believers. They have perfected the objective theology of the experiential knowledge of God. Their teachings have successfully undermined any ability to personally follow the leading of the Shepherd.

This hits the nail on the head! Talking about experiencing God is different than actually experiencing God. Over time it is easy to confuse the two and eventually equate talking about experiencing God with actually experiencing God.
So the Lord in His wisdom taught us to look at the fruit not just the talk. When we look at the fruit we see arrogance, pride, mistreatment of God's people, small-heartedness, lack of love, etc. And that tells all we need to know.
