If this has been discussed forgive me for bringing it up.

What is folks opinion on using the terms, Bro,. Sis., Pastor, Bishop, Elder, Rev., Etc.....

I for one don't like it. I don't like being called Bro Jacks, Bro Mark, Brother, or any other form. I never called my dad Bro Jacks, or Pastor, nor my brother. Now I have always done whatever the majority around has done out of respect. I have heard ministers say that you have to use these terms other wise you are not respecting the ministry when you address a Pastor or older church member.
I don't think how I address you speaks of respect but how I treat you does. How I talk to you and about you may speak of my respect but what I call you has nothing to do with it.

How many of you call you physical brothers and sisters Bro ___ or Sis __? (inserty your own family names there)
I am sorry but I never have and probably never will get this practice.
