Sorry, if this question and answer sounds mean or prejudice.
I pretend no one's home and turn off the lights, tv, etc.

A few persons persist in spreading ridiculous stories about Jehovah's Witnesses. They do not try to force their religion on anyone; that would neither fulfill their commission nor be practical. In many countries, that would be illegal!
Instead, Jehovah's Witnesses hope to share with their neighbors an encouraging thought from the bible. Since they try to visit each home in their territories at least twice each year, it would not make sense for them to waste time with a householder who communicates a clear disinterest in conversing. There is no need to be hide, or to be rude or threatening. Simply thank the Witness for his good intentions, tell him you are not interested in speaking with Jehovah's Witnesses, and close the door gently.
Jehovah's Witnesses are used to it, and actually appreciate the opportunity to move on in the manner Jesus described:
(Matthew 10:14) [Jesus said] Wherever anyone does not take you in or listen to your words, on going out of that house or that city shake the dust off your feet

I have never had that problem. But when some one knocks on my door and I don't know who it is or I am not expecting anyone, I just don't answer. I don't really care if they know I am home or not. If they are pushy (which no one has been) I would call the cops.

I haven't been bothered by them since I moved to Baltimore, but I used to hide and bereally quiet. But one time, I told my husband that someone was at the door tosee him as a joke so he would have to talk to the Jehovah's Witnesses. He was pissed because he couldn't get away from them. Seriously, they wouldn't leave our porch.

The sound of the bolt being racked on an AK, and my vicious Schnauzer's manly bark, usually keep undesirables away.

Just not answer the door, though I've been tempted to ask them in to discuss being saved by the blood of a risen Christ.
They are both cults - not denominations.

Put a sign on your front door that says:
"NO RELIGIOUS SOLICITATION"
