Tempest: "culture that puts family, especially the mama on a pedestal", the family patriarch.
My elder brothers and sister (not JW's) are respected and looked up as the family patriarch
by JW' family members also, since my mom and dad has passed. I'm fourth in line so it will
end with me or bypass me to my younger JW brother...
But I understand the culture.....I'm so happy my mom didn't become a JW!!
