Plan to get a doorbell...?
Jehovah's Witnesses generally do not knock loudly, for the simple reason that they typically knock at dozens of doors in a particular morning or afternoon and repeated hard knocking would hurt their knuckles!
A common misconception is that Jehovah's Witnesses go from door-to-door because they feel it is their duty to "recruit" a householder, or get him to "convert". In fact, Jehovah's Witnesses would go from door-to-door even if there were no hope that anyone would change their religion, or even if no one would listen to them!
That is because Jesus Christ specifically assigned the house-to-house ministry to the Christian congregation, with no regard for specific results.
(Luke 10:1,2) After these things the Lord designated seventy others and sent them forth by twos in advance of him into every city and place to which he himself was going to come. 2 Then he began to say to them: “The harvest, indeed, is great, but the workers are few. Therefore beg the Master of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest.
Jehovah's Witnesses are trained to direct attention to the bible, and move on when their message is unwanted. Since each congregation in the United States tries to call at every home in its territory at least twice each year, there is strong motivation for them to move on where little interest is shown. Also, the Scriptures help the Witnesses to expect little interest from most:
(2 Timothy 4:3-5) For there will be a period of time when they will not put up with the healthful teaching ...and they will turn their ears away from the truth, whereas they will be turned aside to false stories. You, though, keep your senses in all things, suffer evil, do the work of an evangelizer, fully accomplish your ministry.

When you answer the door, say, hello, but also mention you are not deaf and the door is not made of iron.
When they ask if you can sit down with them and listen to them for an hour, say this:
"Yes, i will listen to everything you have to say until you are finished. But on the condition that you also will listen to me for at least one hour and what I have to say."
In most cases they will excuse themselves and go on to the next house.

Throw a bucket of cold dirty wash water on out the door upon opening the door. After the JW SCREAM, say "OOPS I guess you caught me at a bad time, maybe I can come over to your house when you are busy"

After I catch my breath and get the dogs to settle down, I tell them that I'm Mormon and they usually offer to leave a booklet and go away.

Don't ask them to give you Jesus back...They have a fictionalized & distorted belief about Him. Isn't that Bejesus anyway?

I let the dogs downstairs, I have a 120lbs Lab and a 98lbs Pit Bull. They can not get to them but it scares the hell out of them.

answer the door naked with a joint in my mouth, and a beer in my hand asking them kindly not to come back... ever.
