How far would you go to avoid talking to them?

I love to engage a Jehovah's Witness in a lively spiritual discussion and I always win.

At times, a question such as this will elicit dozens and dozens of elaborate schemes to spare a householder an unwanted conversation with Jehovah's Witness door-to-door ministers.
All such schemes are a complete and utter waste of time!
Many of your neighbors have figured it out, and it's really quite simple:
1. Open the door
2. Smile (optional)
3. Ask "Jehovah's Witness?"
4. Receive affirmation
5. Say, "Thank you, but I'm not interested"
6. Gently close the door (slamming is rude, but your prerogative)
Please recognize that Jehovah's Witnesses are not primarily interested in converts, but in working to obey Jesus' command to preach (Matt 24:14; Matt 28:19,20).

First, treat them with respect, then I tell them (assuming they are at my door) that I am very committed to my beliefs and there really is no point discussing it with them, and no, I do not want a copy of the magazine. If they persist, I tell them I have looked into what they believe and strongly disagree and they will not change my mind.
I do the same with mormons. It takes a minute, but it is honest, and respectful and I have never had them return for a second visit!
On the other hand, my father in law always insisted you should invite them in for a beer.

I usually don't know they're here until I answer the door. I just tell them I don't have time, or, sometimes I listen to them. I know they're doing what they believe in, and I respect that. They also respect me when I say, sorry, I have no time today. It's all about being polite, and respectful ~~~~~~~~

Luckily they never come to my condo complex. But I used to hide in my room and turn off the lights.

I have a friend who sees them coming up his drive and meets them at the door with a .44 mag. They leave immediately.
