Re: Brother and Sister
I don't care one way or the other how I'm addressed. I call others brother or sister out of respect, because it's the way I was raised. And unless someone requests otherwise I will keep doing it. I do the same with those of other denominations as well. I do prefer to be called Sister Cindy by children and teenagers.

So someone has a pride issue for not calling folks brother or sister, that expect to ALWAYS be called brother or sister, even when it has NOTHING to do with respect based on age?-(ie speaking of children addressing respect to adults, or addressing elders)
So now which of these genuinely have the pride issue, brother?

Re: Brother and Sister
They call us Pastor Eddie and Pastor Sherri (or sometimes just Sherri).

Re: Brother and Sister
I've never cared for it. And it has nothing to do with pride - it's not that I mind calling other people that, I just don't really like being called that myself. Simply calling me by my name is perfectly fine. I just think the Brother and Sister thing sounds so odd out in the real world. Makes me feel like I'm part of some secret society with a secret handshake or something. 
If we call Jesus - Jesus - and don't consider it disrespectful, why is it disrespectful to call each other by our names alone?
