What good ways have you tried. Launch a totally unrelated topic like how your day has been so they get so fed up they leave? Not answer the door? Say piss off?

I just say to anyone who comes proselytizing to my door, ( I get more Jehovah's Witnesses) Thanks but I'm not interested. That's all I've ever had to say. They usually just smile, ( I smile back) say thanks, and they leave. Once, back in the early '70's I did have a JW put his foot in door so I couldn't close it but the Mormons and others have always been polite. Often it's the Baptists out inviting everyone to a revival. I take their pamphlet or invitation, say thanks and that's the end of it. There's really no need to be rude. If they ring your bell at an inconvenient time, you don't have to answer the door at all.

Just tell them you aren't interested and don't want to be contaced again. Most of the time if LDS missionaries come to your door it's because they were given a referral. They rarely do the door to door tracking anymore because it's not very successful. It's the JW's that do the door to door tracking.

[This is of course not serious]
First set up relations with all of your neighbors, get their email, and especially telephone numbers.
Hold group meetings with neighbors and brainstorm ideas on how to ward off pesky door-to-door people(like Mormons, or Jehovah's Witnesses, for example).
Take notes.
Set up a call list, so that if Mormons are in the neighborhood, you will be notified.
Keep a cross nailed to you door, a little loose, so that if they ARE in the neighborhood, you can turn the croos upside-down.
Make sure to keep all your blinds closed.
A red and black "666" welcome mat should be kept handy.
Always put on a smile!

I would say don't answer the door but just so you know, your Jack Walsh and picture kicks ***. Midnight Run is a great movie and Robert De Niro is the MAN.

Say you wanna marry both of his sisters. Then ask if a threesome with them is ok.
Actually I have never been able to get angry at those that come to my door of a different faith, they are trying to save me from eternal damnation after all.

I would put a sign on the door that says no proselytizing or soliciting. If they come, point to the sign and ask them to respect your wishes.

Set up a burning cross in your yard, dig a moat of fire around your door with fire-proof crocodiles, strip naked and dance around the cross, saying "Heil Satan!" Works everytime.

Tell them you're a Jehovah's Witness and that you have nothing more to say. Then, close the door politely.

Try a 'no soliciting' sign. Or you could answer the door with questions like, 'are you here about the dead babies?', or 'sure I want to hear about god - come in and have a soda!'.
