Remove the veil which is over your eye's and ears. you are very decieved if you think this ministry is not false.
They are nothing more than Peddlers of God's Word. You likely believe in Joel Osteen's ministry as well, right? False teachers are everywhere and the world seems to embrace them, and when a brother or sister in Christ wants to steer you away from them, then everyone wants to shoot the messenger because deception is powerful. I thought and felt just like you with Erin....however her true colors showed through when challenged by the Word of God itself.
Reemember: Others love you enough and care about your eternal soul without asking for money, selling books, or collecting tithe. There is NO tithe bte----this is where YOU NEED TO STUDY HIS WORD and ask for His discernment and not look to others~!! He alone will give you wisdom.
God Bless.

I really don't have the time to write a rebuttal to anyone or about anyone, but after reading this report I felt with all my heart that I had to respond sharing my own experiences with Erin Thiele's company. I have been a member since 2011. I've read her books and received daily encouragement for years, all with amazing results and everything she shares include scripture to back it up. It has litterally changed my life, my husband, who I am as a wife, mother, sibliing, friend, etc and the way I handle life and I don't think that ever would have happened without the help of Erin Thiele and her company. I in no way feel she is a false teacher, a liar or a fake and I am truly saddened by the accusations suggesting she is. We have to be very careful coming against one of God's children like this.
During all this time, I have never been or felt forced, bullied or pushed in any way to pay tithes to them, but I do believe that we should pay our tithes to whoever is feeding us spiritually and if that is Erin Thiele's company then why wouldn't we want to? They help people in a way that not many others can. If someone felt they were being bullied then I think there has to be some type of misunderstanding.
I have a marriage ministry myself and I recommend Erin Thiel's books and ministry to everyone who is either getting married or having marital problems. One of the last things I ever want to see happen is any negetive words or feelings said against them that would potentially keep someone from the valueable help of her ministry. Help that could change their life, their marriage and the way they handle it.
Thank YOU!

Refer to my response to Mary D.
God's Word is what matters and is true. Opinions mean nothing here if you cannot back it up with His Word.
Isaiah 55:8 ~~ Refer also to this.
THank you...God bless you & yours.

Greetings Mary D,
My only "motive" here in this report is [TRUTH]. God's Truth~!!!!
Truth, sometimes may seem & appear to others as fiscious; as you call me; but that
is because they have been decieved.....I rebuked her and her Lies & will back it up
with God's own Words:
Titus 1 13-14 ~ " This witness is true. Wherefore REBUKE them SHARPLY,
that they may be sound in the Faith. Not giving heed to
Jewish fables, and "commandments of men", that TURN
from the TRUTH."
Money returned or not, you asked me what my "beef" was.....?
My beef is people like her who PEDDLE THE WORD OF GOD~!!!
There is NO tithing today. 2 COrinthians 2:17 ~ "Unlike so many, we do not peddle the Word of God for
profit~! On the contrary, In Christ we speak beofre God with sincerity, as those sent from God."
Look up 1 Timothy 1:4 beloved....and read and study your Bible, rather than
defending the likes of Erin Thiele or other mere men & women, how about defending God's Word instead?
I guauntee you that you will go much further in this life by staying on the path Jesus
made for you, rather than hers or others.
God bless you with Love & Light... ☺

I was involved with Erin and RMI in 2008-2009. We parted ways due to irreconcilable theological differences, but she is NOT a fraud and has never, to my knowledge, forced anyone to tithe to her or RMI specifically, though she did teach to tithe to the place where you are being spiritually fed. In my dealings with her she has always encouraged individuals to seek God for guidance on their lives, and I never saw her discourage anyone from going deeper into studying the Bible for themselves. However, when it came to the ministry work, she did ask me to change my view on something i had already sought God about and received an answer that disagreed with her view. I do not know who's right or wrong but we agreed to part ways, and there were no further issues. No one is perfect, after all. Working with Erin and reading her books, however, was one of the biggest reasons that I have a relationship with God now. So if anyone speaks against her, I will defend her as a true teacher of God's ways.

The woman who wrote about Erin sounds really viscious.Im really questioning her motives.No one forces you to tithe. i myself am a pretty cheap tither.Plus you said they refunded your money,so whats. your beef? I found out about restore ministry in 2004 on the internet when i was in a really bad marriage.I got her books.I think restore ministry teaches women how to read the bible and apply it to your life. The whole premise is not to look at your husbands sin and spirituality but your own.Some of the principals are really hard to put into action.I feel like it helped to give a structure to walking a Christian walk.It also helped me understand the bible and also how to apply it and live it.She talks about how sometimes the Wordly point of view is opposite of Gods view.
She actually just wrote a detailed book on how she restored her own marriage using principals she read in the bible. I never got the feeling she was fake.She always seemed humble to me.At least she was a Christian woman that really tried to live it.I get tired of meeting Christian people that have no values.She was also against slandering you husband,She was for fasting a couple times a week and reading psalms daily and writing down verses from bible that seemed to apply to your own personal situation as God guidance instead of peoples guidance and instead of talking about your problems to people talk to God and keep your focus on God.
Unfortunately for me and Erin we both ended up divorced but there is something to be said about giving it the old college try!None of what Erin teaches is bad and i feel enriched for having spent time in restore ministries.I really liked the testemonies too of women that applied the principals and got their marriage restored.We live in a throw away divorce society. So it is refreshing to read about women who try to make it work. And also get closer to God.The good thing about restore ministries is it is really geared toward trying to save a marriage that seems hopless.And having God help you do that.
