Can a Black Brother stop being one at some point?
-
Let's say someone became a Black Brother or Sister, and they know they didn't want to be one, can they reverse this process?
-
I don't think a Black Brother can become one without very deliberately choosing to become one. The level of attainment required to become a Black Brother is far beyond the attainment of most practitioners of the art: one must be an Exempt Adept before the choice even becomes available, and they know precisely what they are doing.

Presented with options, we turn away from the Divine every day in large ways and small ways, in conscious ways and unconscious ways. Accumulatively, if the choice is to errantly associate gratification of the “self” with Truth, the path tends toward “Black.” Rectifications of direction—intent—are entirely feasible where the Right Relationship with Self is established and the path corrected. The weight of change, tendency, habits, baseness—is a lot to overcome.
If there were an “Ultimate Choice,” to be a “Black Brother,” I am not sure how it could/would be unmade. If it could be unmade, it was never the true choice.
