I respect it in an old-fashioned kinda way, I just don't see the need. If we start calling Jesus, Bro. Jesus and Paul, Bro. Paul, etc. then it might make more sense... why give people living now special titles when we don't even use them for the "legends".
My only point sheltie, is that just being who he was and is was enough for my dad, not being called rev or pastor, or whatever, there were many people who thought calling him just bro paul was disrespectful, but not him, dt
