I also have been betrayed by a brother who was forced to save his own neck by providing mine. I have found that the best way to be released from this bitter event to to forgive them.
Well it doesn't really matter if I forgive him or not. I would do so if I saw any sign that he repented. But given he's in leadership roles in the LC, and is still propagating the fanaticism and delusions of the LC system it's clear there's been no repentance.

I would, however, like to shake his hand and thank him for his part in bouncing me out of the LC. God worked it out for good, as far as I'm concerned.

And bro Ohio, I'm sorry you had to go thru something similar.
