Maybe try putting an obvious trash can next to the door - in plain sight. When they hand you their literature, simply take it and drop it into the trash can right in front of them…
I remember back when my husband had just come home from the hospital. He had been admitted for a heart attack. He was napping. I put a sign out.
I went to the door and they started their spiel. I was dumbfounded. When they took a breath, I asked them if they knew how to read. 
They admitted that they did, but couldn’t explain why they thought that their spiel was not only an emergency but enough of one to ring the bell.Interesting story…I remember back when my husband had just come home from the hospital.

“Please do not ring bell. Knock, only if it is an Emergency.”
They rang the bell.
I have to admit, I wasn’t very nice to them as I ordered them off of my property.
I could tell you a way that would guarantee they would never call back, but it would involve being somewhat economical with the truth. Tell them you were a JW and but have become Catholic. In this case, they are not allowed to call at your door or speak to you because you’ve become an ‘apostate.’Hello. This is my first post and JW’s, among other things, is something I wanted to get other’s thoughts on. I work from home and they have picked up on this so, their visits is often. I’m having a hard time telling them that I’m not interested because I feel like I’m being rude. I know I can simply not answer but they know I am home. I put all info the trash. How can I tell them to stop?
I saw someone posted that 7th Day Adventist also go door to door. My recently ex-boyfriend is an Adventist and told me they don’t go door to door (he seemed offended when I asked). I soon found out they do. It’s considered their community service (he said he doesn’t do it but others in the church do). He doesn’t want to talk about his religion so I did my own research and was blown away
I have never thought of that. It could work.I could tell you a way that would guarantee they would never call back, but it would involve being somewhat economical with the truth.

Interesting idea, but it is a sin to lie so I don’t think we should recommend this solution to anyone.I could tell you a way that would guarantee they would never call back, but it would involve being somewhat economical with the truth.

Crucifix in one hand, holy water in the other.With all of the posts about putting a statue in the yard and such…I get this image of meeting them at the door with a crucifix held out in front of them like you are warding off a vampire…
Peace

But I don’t think they want to hear the truth either.
I’m pretty sure the feeling is mutual…
You are undoubtedly right. They would not wish to hear this either.
LOL ! I feel like doing that myself the next time JW’s come around my neighborhood and house!With all of the posts about putting a statue in the yard and such…I get this image of meeting them at the door with a crucifix held out in front of them like you are warding off a vampire…

Wearing one around your neck has the same effect and if you happen to be praying The Rosary, you might have to call 9 -1 -1With all of the posts about putting a statue in the yard and such…I get this image of meeting them at the door with a crucifix held out in front of them like you are warding off a vampire…

We don’t want to keep them away, we want to convert them to the truth.Placing a crucifix on all the doors leading to the outside keeps away the JW’s LDS’ and vampires.
