How are titles decided?


I notice in movies like this (polygamous cults) people address each other as "Mother ______" and "Sister ______" or "Father ______" "Brother ______".

Who decides who gets what title? Is it by age? Seniority within the "family"?

as the way he cut out that dude's noggin from all those photos so quickly was impressive! 

It's not just cults. It's common in religious communities. It's denoted by age.
