It's times like these when I'm glad I live in an apartment building where this kind of shit would never happen.
Luke: You don't believe in the Force, do you?
Han Solo: Kid, I've flown from one side of this galaxy to the other, and I've seen a lot of strange stuff, but I've never seen *anything* to make me believe that there's one all-powerful Force controlling everything. 'Cause no mystical energy field controls *my* destiny. It's all a lot of simple tricks and nonsense.

While visiting my friend in Perth Australia two young women, Jehovah witnesses I think called at the door. My friend quick as a flash, shouted through to me " hey the 2 girls we booked from Slick Chicks are here" they hurried away without saying a word. We laughed our balls off the rest of the day!

I wonder if any comedian has ever done a bit on door to door recruitment for atheism. I think there may be some potential there. "Excuse me mam, just wondering if you've been hearing any voices today? No? Good, remember praying is just asking for the voices to start." Or "hello little boy. Would you go see if your mother and dad can come talk to me about ridding themselves of the lord?"

Weirdly, I've never had many JW knocking at my door, but over the last two months it happened at least five times.

It's a sign! Get down on your knees and let the lord in.

I can tell you a sure fire way of having them move on and not come back but you probably won't like it.
Religion is like a virus because it wants to spread. But what if you are already infected?
Tell the religious person that you are saved and tell them what church you supposedly go to. They will leave you and go searching for someone else that is not infected.

Methods I've Tried:
Polite: 'Thank you, but we have our own beliefs.'
Rude: 'Piss off, we think for ourselves in this house.'
Funny: 'I'd love to talk to you, but you caught me right in the middle of sacrificing a goat - could you come back in an hour?'
None of those worked for long, so about two years ago, I made up a sign for the front walk which reads as follow:
WARNING: We consider all forms of solicitation, including religious solicitation, to be trespassing. If it is your intention to sell anything or to convert us to ANY belief, please pass up this house. Failure to respect this notice will result in a call to the police and charges will be pursued.
I called the peelers on a salesman once, and the missus did so for a JW. Other than that, life's been quiet.
