“#2 ranking for the old ’hood. I knew

we were in on one of best-kept

secrets in Toronto...”

Cult Following

Nathaniel G. Moore’s memoir about his

grandfather’s faith-healing, beat-the-

devil-out cult in Trinity-Bellwoods was

as scary as it sounds, and readers

apparently like to be scared.

“Toronto Life long read...about

a cult? Oh hell yes.”

—@jennalicereid, Twitter

“Once in a while, Toronto Life has

a fantastic article that makes

my hair stand on end.”

—Magjee, Reddit

The piece particularly resonated for this

woman:

“Thank you for including Nathaniel

Moore’s article in your October

issue. The existence of his grand-

father’s cult ruined many lives, my

family’s included. Many more fam-

ilies were affected than is perhaps

known. To suddenly see the group

written about some 55 years later is

incredibly validating for victims.

The story accurately reflects my

own memories and experiences.

“The fact that the article was

written by a member of the family

makes it feel very authentic. I wish

to publicly thank Nathaniel Moore

for speaking of the group without

reservation and without glossing

over the facts. When the adult sur-

vivors began to speak out about

the abuse, we were initially met

with derision, skepticism and

allegations of false memory. How-

ever, you only have to read this

article to know our truth. The chil-

dren of these families, now grown

adults if they survived, are the

Most investors worry about the total return on their retirement portfolio. But the biggest cost of

a portfolio is usually the tax bill. In fact, at the highest tax bracket, every tax dollar you save

is equivalent to more than two dollars earned by you. That’s why you should contact

Michael and his team today at 416 308 9084 or [email protected] to see whether you

qualify for a free, no obligation tax smart-evaluation of your retirement plan.

Are you paying too much tax?

“Before meeting Michael I was paying too much in tax. Michael used his special knowledge and

experience as an investment advisor with a tax legal background to arrange my portfolio so that I

paid much less tax and kept more in my pocket. Thank you Michael for all of your help.”
