I don't answer the door, but sometimes it's embarrassing because they'll knock and knock and knock and I'll be ignoring them and my kids will be standing right in front of the door or looking out the window at them yelling "MOM THERES SOMEONE HERE" So I know they know I'm home.

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).

I for the most part do, but then, I am a Witness:D We all have the right to either answer or not answer the door. I see little to no need to hide. If I do choose to answer the door to whom ever is there, I then either get into a discussion, or politely say no thank you and gently close the door.

Mostly I just answer the door and tell them that as a Christian, we are just not going to agree on some fundamental points. They always start by telling me what we do agreed on, so I just say "do you accept that Jesus Christ is the son of God and died on the cross so we could have everlasting life?" The more they waffle, the more I press the point, in the end, they have to agree, that we are always going to disagree on some fundamental issues. Seeing as they call round this area every Tuesday, they miss out my door now.

I don't answer the door. If my father is visiting me when they come, he tells them straight that he's not interested. They seem to have more respect for older people, and they just move on to the next house.

I treat Jehovah's the same way I treat Mormons, kitchen planners, double glazing salesmen, peddlers, hawkers, charity collectors and beggars.
I open the door and tell them to F**K OFF!

No!!
I answer the door and politely inform them I'm not into religion and the God theory,although out of courtesy I do accept their pamphlets and firmly close the door forthwith :)
