Using profanity against Jehovah's Witnesses is rude, immature, and disrespects the Scriptural basis for their door-to-door ministry.
There is no need for such gross boorishness. A minute or so after knocking, Jehovah's Witnesses will be on their way to the next home if no one answers the door. Interestingly, in the United States they will ALWAYS return to a "not-at-home" at least once again and usually TWICE AGAIN in the next couple of weeks.
A much better idea is to answer the door, thank Jehovah's Witnesses for their efforts, and explain that you are simply not interested in their message. You can even gently close the door after this little monologue, and Jehovah's Witnesses will not be offended.
Of course, the *BEST* idea is to invite Jehovah's Witnesses into your home for a free home bible study course. The message that they bring is comforting and means eternal life!

Make a game of it, Invite them in, be very friendly and polite, but insert a four letter word into your conversation everywhere you can as if it is the way you naturally talk. See how fast you can get them headed for the door at a run. At 15, tell them that you will have to talk outside as your parents don't want strangers inside while they are not there. Try to get them to sit on the lawn where the dog pees. Have fun with them, after all, they are just stupid religionists.

you don't have to answer the door if you don't want to. you're not obligated too either.
since you're only 15 yrs old & no one else is home with you, it's better to be safe then sorry so don't open the door. i'm not saying they're bad people, just use wisdom, that's why god gave us wisdom.
i sometimes don't answer the door either & i'm 39 yrs old w/2 kids. most of the time, someone's home w/me too. I just have my religion too, & busy also.

Would you have liked for someone to do that to you? Be polite and say you aren't interested or just don't come to the door it's not something for a rocket scientist to figure out :)

Walk out the door with a bloodied knife and say "can you come back in half an hour? we're not done with the virgin yet

tell them to come back when your parents are at home, they don't invite just anyone to their church, they want to show you scriptures from the bible. besides, aren't you old enough to know how to answer the door by yourself...?

Tell them your parents don't want you talking to them. Jehovah's Witnesses are one of the few Christian sects that respect parents' rights to direct their children's religious education--they won't allow minors to convert w/o parental consent, and they won't get pushy in trying to talk to minors.
Tell them that you are UNDERAGE, and you cannot discuss religion with them; they'll need to come back when your parents are home if they want to talk to you.
