I just cannot believe what they do. I have looked into what they believe and I just cannot believe the same as them.
The lady gave me some tracts and the tracts dont tell what they really believe... like that Jesus was the archangel or that only 144,000 people will get to go to heaven (and that includes EVERYONE who ever lived). I just cannot believe that.

You haven't really told them not to come back have you?

You've just told them that you're not interested.

Think about it...

PS. Re-read the tracts, you haven't read them properly. I suggest that you look more into it if you want proof of what they believe.

Look at the scriptures in the tract and see for yourself. Most oh humankind will inherit the earth, isn't that what Matthew 5:5 reads from Jesus's own very words.

The 144,000 is scriptural in Revelation 14:2-3.
".... the hundred and forty-four thousand, who have been bought from the earth."

Daniel 2:44 describes the kingdom of God to replace the kingdoms of earth. Jesus Christ will be king over the whole earth. People commonly refer to Jesus as king so doesn't a king need a kingdom?

There is no scripture in the Bible that says all of saved mankind will go to heaven. Millions of people will live forever on a paradise earth. This earth. When wickedness is cut off from the earth and Satan destroyed this earth will be like it is in heaven. No pain, no dispair, no sickness and no person will die but have everlasting life (Revelation 21:4).
That is the hope that I and many millions long for. Jesus Christ as my reining king over all the productive land on earth.
When there are plenty of scriptures that show that this earth is the proper dwelling place for mankind as God originally intended.

Isaiah 45:18
. . .He the [true] God, the Former of the earth and the Maker of it, He the One who firmly established it, who did not create it simply for nothing, who formed it even to be inhabited:. . .
Psalm 104:5
. . .He has founded the earth upon its established places; It will not be made to totter to time indefinite, or forever.

You can ask to be put on their do not call list if you really do not wish any more further visits. But instead of judging their teachings on what you think you know why not let them give you the opportunity to show you from scripture even if it is from your very own Bible.
If it is though just prejudice that makes you dislike Jehovah's Witnesses then really that is just too bad and I am sorry for you that you feel that way.

If you are having a problem, look in the yellow pages and tell them the nature of the problem.
MOST elders will double check the territory cards to make sure that you have been listed as a do not call.

That being said...
You aren't indicating the time frame.
JW's will call back about once a year to make sure that you still feel the same AND to make sure that there are not new owners of the house.

It only says 144,000 High Priests will greet Christ. These represent the 12 tribes of Israel. It doesn't say anthing about how many go to heaven. We don't go to heaven at the Millenium anyway. We don't go to heaven until the end of the millenium which is 1000 years after the 144,000 High Priests greet Christ in Adam-ondi-Ahman.

I agree with smiling JW. if you are not interested and don't want the Jehovah Witnesses to come by anymore. call the local kingdom hall and tell them to put your name and address on the do not call list. we are not soliciting, we don't sell anything. or go to the website at www.watchtower.org. granny annie. guess what? I was jewish before I became a Jehovah Witness. we talk to all people and any religion

My mother had a friend who was so confused by the Jehovah Wittnesses that came to her door that she wanted to sleep all the time--she left her twins who were about two years old along while she slept all day.

Let them know that you do not want them to come to their door again. If they do come tell them, ask for their names and addresses so you can come to their doors to bother them. Also, put up a no tresspassing signs.

Yours must be a really persistent group, because they always leave me alone when asked, especially if I do so politely.

You don't have to believe as they do, nor should you judge them by their beliefs. They're people, too. Just politely request that they not come to your door, or post a "No peddlers or salesmen" sign. I'm sure they'll leave you be in the future.

The reason JW's come to your door so often is out of love for you. We know that this system of things is coming to an end very soon, and we are very interested in our neighbors.
We also love Jehovah and Jesus with all our hearts and so we obey the command to warn our neighbors. In Ezekiel 3:18-19 we are told: "“ When I say to someone wicked, ‘You will positively die,’ and you do not actually warn him and speak in order to warn the wicked one from his wicked way to preserve him alive, he being wicked, in his error he will die, but his blood I shall ask back from your own hand. 19 But as for you, in case you have warned someone wicked and he does not actually turn back from his wickedness and from his wicked way, he himself for his error will die; but as for you, you will have delivered your own soul. So not only are we trying to save your life, but we are also saving our own by being obedient.
Matt. 24:14: "And this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come"; Matt. 28:19,20: "Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit." So the command is to go make desciples of people. The Apostle Paul in speaking to fellow believers in Ephesus in Acts 20:20 told them: "while I did not hold back from telling YOU any of the things that were profitable nor from teaching YOU publicly and from house to house." As you can see the early Christians preached from house to house. They were taught by Jesus to witness to others that way. Jesus and his apostles met with opposition and apathy also when they preached. Jesus was killed for his ministry and so was his early apostles, and we are told in the Bible by Jesus at John 15:18-21: "If the world hates YOU, YOU know that it has hated me before it hated YOU. 19 If YOU were part of the world, the world would be fond of what is its own. Now because YOU are no part of the world, but I have chosen YOU out of the world, on this account the world hates YOU. 20 Bear in mind the word I said to YOU, A slave is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted me, they will persecute YOU also; if they have observed my word, they will observe YOURS also. 21 But they will do all these things against YOU on account of my name, because they do not know him that sent me.".
If you would like to know what the Bible really teaches about God's Kingdom, The true hope for all mankind, God's purpose for this earth, Why we grow old and die? they will be more than happy to help you find the answers from the Bible. If you are truely not interested in learning exactly what the future holds for all mankind, then just tell them to put you on the do not call back list. They will be happy to do that also.
I would suggest though that before you tell them you want to be on that list, listen to what they have to say, ask as many questions you want, and tell them to use your copy of the Bible to answer your questions. They will be very happy to answer your questions.

the best answer is "i'm about to sacrifice a virgin on my alter to the lord Azrael, would you like to hold the knife for a moment?" makes them never ever come back.

Or tell them you are an organ donation recipient. "i have a donated kidney" works quite well too

Under the No Solicitation sign, I also have one that states
No Religious Fanatics.

That seems to keep everyone away.
