Am I legally free to do whatever I want to them?

of course you are not legally free to murder them or assault them. but this is the way i get rid of them (though i hold no malice towards them whatsoever for their beliefs, or, for trying to spread the word, as they see it):
i just tell them that i am jewish. they say okay and then go away. i wonder why they would not wish to talk to a jew???

It's sad when someone who claims to respect the bible actually insults or even advocates attacking a peaceful preacher. Sad but completely expected.
(2 Timothy 4:3-5) For there will be a period of time when they will not put up with the healthful teaching... You, though, keep your senses in all things, suffer evil, do the work of an evangelizer, fully accomplish your ministry.
Incidentally, the typical Jehovah's Witness knocks at hundreds of doors each year. He has already experienced degrading behavior from householders, some of whom: stand there naked, mimic Satanists, proposition lewd acts, brandish weapons, sic dogs, scream profanities, accuse crimes, and call Witnesses anti-American (inside the USA) or pro-American (outside the USA).
Fascists have called Witnesses "communists". Communists have called Witnesses "fascists".
Haven't you ever heard of 'hedging your bets'? Simple risk vs. reward analysis should make anyone very reluctant to abuse these ministers.
(Acts 5:38,39) I say to you, Do not meddle with these men, but let them alone; (because, if this scheme or this work is from men, it will be overthrown; but if it is from God, you will not be able to overthrow them;) otherwise, you may perhaps be found fighters actually against God.”
Jehovah's Witnesses are going to knock on your door unless you specifically and unequivocally tell them that you do not want them knocking, or if they fear for their own safety. Nothing else will really deter them, so you would be going to a lot of effort to accomplish nothing but pleasing Satan.
Really, if someone goes out of their way to disregard Christian preachers and preaching, what is he saying about himself?
(Luke 10:1-17) After these things the Lord designated seventy others and sent them forth by twos... “He that listens to you listens to me too. And he that disregards you disregards me too. Moreover, he that disregards me disregards also him that sent me forth.”

INSTRUCTIONS ON WHAT TO DO ABOUT DOOR KNOCKERS
The best way to learn what to do to stop JWs is to contact a synagogue and talk to the Rabbi.
Ask him how the ancient Jews got rid of the Christian Jews when they went from house to house telling their brethren that the beliefs, rituals, and holiday observances that they have followed for hundreds of years was no longer valid?
I’m sure they had ways to get rid of the members of this cult started by a lower class, uneducated Carpenter, who was executed for cause by the governing authority. These followers were also lower class, uneducated individuals, such as Peter, a failed fisherman, and Matthew, a tax collector.
Lacking any kind of education, let alone advance religious education, it was clear they were brainwashed.
Saul of Tarsus, a highly educated individual, repeatedly proved they were a false religious sect, creating their own scriptures (Bible) instead of relying on the Holy Torah, which had been used by the Jews for hundreds of years. He stood by as the true people of God stoned these so-called Christians.
So, just take a lesson from the ancient Jews. What worked for them against the Christian cult should work against the JWs.

You were getting bored so you decided to make fun of someone. For that you picked the JW.
I was once with a sister and we've been invited in by a man. He insisted but we refused everytime he did.
You say you can do anything you want to them. If you do something wrong you'll surely pay the consequences.

Just put a sign on the door "No Jehovah's Witnesses". We won't knock.

Na. I have had them knocking on my door. At the most inopportune of times. I answered the door in my underwear. They at first turned white then red in the face. I haven't seen them since.

If someone comes into your home invited can you just murder them? I don't think so. By the way, we wouldn't ask to come in for a few hours.

No, while it is a downright interruption and in my opinion, they should find other ways to spread their message, if they must do so, they still have human rights. I think the best thing to do is to ask them not to return-ask through the screen door.

I just shut the door or never answer it. Problem solved, and you won't have to worry about any legal matters.
