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).

Why do people view Jehovah Witnesses as free targets for abuse. You dont have to agree with their beliefs (I dont) but at the very least it must take a lot of courage to knock on door after door of abusive people. All you have to do is say im not interested thank you, and close the door.

Um, well maybe I'm missing something but the easiest way, in my opinion, is to simply say "I am not interested, thank you". It is what I do when I don't want to talk to someone on the phone or at the door and it works wonders. It saves time, ours and yours.
Hope this helps.

I tell them that if I wouldn't buy a set of encyclopedias sold door-to-door then I'm hardly likely to buy a new religion. JWs are just god's annoying door-to-door salesmen.

It always amazes me how many others are afraid of these people. I may not agree with everything they say but I have a great deal of respect for them. It takes courage to show faith like that.

Have a stack of pamphlets printed explaining your spiritual or philosophical beliefs. Hand them out to whomever tries to give you a pamphlet. Or, you could just not answer the door.

Put a sign on your door that says"IF God gave you all of the answers than you know what mine is before you knock".At least it makes them actually think for a minute.

Tell them that you don't share their faith, and wish them well on their journey of spiritual growth.
The tend to leave happy at that point, but if they don't leave tell them "I am finished with this discussion, but you are free to speak to the air around you." then close your door and walk away.

Ask them if they have found him yet. When the look bemused tell them they are door knocking so they must be looking for him.
