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).

It's simple. The next time one calls at your door, take a couple of minutes to tell them that you are not interested. Ask them to pass along your desire NOT to be called on. That's all it will take. No need to answer the door naked, although I've already had that happen.
Is that supposed to embarrass me or you?

Well neither of these suggestions will help.
Telling them you're catholic will only make them want to talk to you more.
Furthermore, What we do is NOT soliciting. We are giving FREE information.
Calling the police won't work, becaue what we do is totally legal.
However, all you have to do is tell us you don't want anyone ever coming back and we will respect that. Make sure the person you tell knows you are serious and write your name and address down.
We are not here to harass people, we are looking for ones who truly want to listen and learn.
If i were you i wouldn't totally get rid off them though. ONE DAY you just may have questions and want someone to "knock or your door", but they won't, out of respect for your wishes.

Tell them this:
"Ok, if I sit down and study with you for two weeks one or two days out of each week, and I find that the good news you are sharing with me is just not so good news to me, will you leave me alone"? That will work with them.
Let us know how it turns out, brain. At least you cannot blame them for warfare, political chaos, rapes, murders, adultery, fornication, homosexuality, hatemongering, and drunkeness --- you know when folks behave badly out of their minds causing automobile deaths and catching STD's? Right?
Trust me, when you do what I have suggested above, it will work!
The Bigger problem is though: how do we get rid of all the "other" false religions, i.e., Catholics!! They're everywhere with their lewd conduct and raping of little boys. They also teach false doctrines like purgatory of which does not exist anywhere in the Bible, nor does it exist ANYWHERE. Then there's the Mormons, the Muslims, etc. There are so many false religions. That's where your concern really should be.
Here's something of real use:

I decorate my front porch with skulls, beads, and bones. This not only keeps the Jehovah's Witnesses from wanting to visit; it keeps the neighbors away, too! There is one guy I know who has posted a sign as you approach his property: Warning: Poisonous Snake Research. I'll bet he has never been visited by the JW's.

Same as you get rid of vampires.
Hang a large crucifix (NOT just a cross) on your front door.
For good measure you can also add a mezzuzah alongside on the doorjamb.

Answer the door wearing a black hooded robe with a large red pentagram on the front and the words Satan is God.

Forceful but calm "Not interested" just before the door closes. If you try being polite, they will never go away. I made that mistake.
(My grandmother had to do this about six times before they got the hint.)
