I try not to be rude, but if you're standing on my porch & you have awakened me at 7am to try to convert me to your sect, I am going to be quick & shut the door.
I have heard every story they have to tell & I have on several occasions out of mere curiosity allowed them to sit in my living room & give detailed presentations on why I should join. However, I found that none of them fit my beliefs.

I simply tell them I am not interested and shut the door. Never had a problem with it either.

I think you need to check the batteries in your clock. The earliest Jehovah's Witnesses go to someones door is 9:30.
We are not there to convert, but to share the hope the bible gives us for the future. If you are interested in learning more, we may come back and share more scriptures with you. If your not interested, just say so. If you really don't want anyone coming to your door, tell them to put your name on a do not call list.
Dogs don't scare me, I have five. Coming to the door naked is a lot funny at our end. Just be honest, we are not there to push our religion on anyone. We honest believe we have found the truth and want to share it with those who are interested and we do find interested ones by going door to door. That is why there are now close to 7 million witnesses, conducting millions of bible studys with interested ones each week in 239 lands.

when you consider which you're residing in a complicated with different tenants, construction administration has to appreciate that the no soliciting coverage isnt being enforced and tenants are upset. there is alot of issues administration can do. initiate a petition to make the construction extra maintain- no longer basically to assist enforce the no soliciting coverage yet look after the protection of tenants (if every person can basically wander in and solicit, every person off the line can wander in), deliver mutually signatures, modern-day it to administration in individual.

My address is 666, its never been an issue. : )
Just kidding.
I have never had anyone come to my door so I wouldn't know.
Although several years ago I answered the door in my underwear to a group of christmas Carolers by mistake.
I thought it was just my girlfriend.
You don't know what awkward feels like untill ten people sing Silent Night to you while you stand in your doorway half naked and freezing.

first place no Jehovah Witness knocks on anyone's door at seven in the morning. that is a lie. if you come to the door naked. so what. we seen it all. many Jehovah Witnesses are married and have children. if your dog harms us we can have the cops come and have your dog put down for harming us. if you are not interested, we will say have a nice day and leave. I guess you would tell Jesus Christ that he is annoying you also. we do what Jesus Christ commanded as at Matthew 28 verse 19 and 20. hopefully one day people will stop to listen to what Jehovah Witnesses have to say. remember they laughed at Noah also. by the way, many Jehovah Witnesses do drink beer and or wine. remember Jesus Christ turned water into wine at the wedding

I have had the Jehovah witnesses at the door on several occasions. I tried the polite approach, but alas, to no avail, so the last time they showed up at 8:00 a.m. I answered the door in my shades, boxer shorts, socks and drinking a beer and asked if they would like one too. They haven't been back since!

Various?? oh please! You are just trying to slander Jehovah's Witnesses. (1) You say 'sect' in your Q, (2) you seem to be negative about door-to-door whilst KNOWING only Jehovah's Witnesses do it. Just tell them No Thanks. But maybe you should get up earlier and try LISTENING to them for once instead of not giving them the time of day. Who knows? They might JUST have what you were looking for.

I ask them why they ignore the command Christ gave to his disciples when he sent them out not to go from house to house.
The only ones I know going door to door are cults trying to recruit people, claiming their church is the only church.
Luke 10:6 And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again.
7 And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.

I have a small notice taped immediately next my doorbell, which reads
"Attention Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormon Missionaries - Please Do Not Disturb
Unobtrusive, polite, but direct, and hopefully painless. I have had no one call on me since I posted it.
****
I do not understand why I have the thumbs down here. No one has the right to come to my door expecting me to give them my time simply because they choose to come knocking. I owe them only civility and this is the simplest way to ensure it. It saves them and myself time and any chance of an unpleasant situation for all.

Normally, I just tell them I am not interested. I did have one group of fools come to my door dressed as clowns. I was more than a little cross with them. I don't need to have my quiet dinner interrupted by people who don't even have the decency to respect me enough to dress properly.
