How long does someone need to have a belief before it counts?

I mean starting objecting too close to service is likely to be seen as faking it to get out. How close is too close is not something for me to determine. The length of time a belief is held has little to do with the strength of a particular belief. But that's even harder to judge.

It really doesn't matter because short of being in a publicallt visible leadership position it will never be enough.

Join rallies, but anonymously? Doesn't count.

Attended a rally openly but no one took a picture? Doesn't count.

Told one person? Not enough witnesses.

Told multiple friends? Just covering for you.

Decided this week based on an experience, but no rallies or groups doing scheduled stuff? Doesn't count.

Publicly attended 3 rallies over the last few months? Just doing it to avoid getting drafted, doesn't count because it wasn't long enough prior.
