I just ask them to show me in their book where the devil did anything more than just piss off god.
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.

If you want to have fun with them, then by all means find all of the terrible bible verses that they were never taught in Sunday school, but since it seems you'd prefer to just be able to sleep in, I'd have to agree with the putting up of a sign.
However respectful or insulting it may be. Though the more insulting, the more inclined some of them may be to convert you. I'm not from the U.S. but I understand Texas to be pretty intense with its preaching through the streets.
You could always not answer the door, hang that crucifix upside down on the front door, or rig up a 'Ferris Beuller' type of tape recording for when your doorbell rings

Why not the atheist forum t-shirt.
It would be fun to have some jws to argue with.
Which makes me wonder why they bother going house to house in the 21st century, everyones connected now.
There's a JW family near me, who's daughter went with a non JW, and they have basically shunned her.
They picked an invisible, imaginary being over their own REAL physical flesh and blood.
Normally I shoo JWs away, but if this particular family comes by, I can't wait to have them about it. Twats. No other word.
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
