    Normally it's a year or so, if you're doing well. I've seen some get back in about 6 months or so, but that's uncommon. An elders son, who did really well took about 18 months, they wanted to make him an example I guess.

    Back in 1992, I was reinstated after 3 months of returning to the KH.

    The reasons for the quickie reinstatement, I think, are:

    1. I was only DF'd for 2 months before deciding to go back (I plead insanity on this decision)

    2. I had an close relative who is an Elder. (Always useful)

    3. I was always previously viewed as little miss perfect JW before I got DF'd

    4. I did some MAJOR ass-kissing to the Elders. Every time they spoke to me I told them how much I was looking forward to participating in the FS again, answering at meetings etc.. All the things that would impress them.

    5. I wrote the most grovelling letter in history when I requested reinstatement. I could have been a mass murderer and they would have let me back in on the contents of that letter!

    Inevitably it was a wasted effort as I walked 2 years later never to return...
