I don't know, I find blowing smoke in their face equally, if no more effective. And mind you I am an atheist, and my late mother was a catholic, and long ago, decades ago, in Northern Virginia we did just that. Two morons drove up in our driveway, then got out of their car, and proceeded to walk up on our porch without our permission. The first thing one asshole said was "That is not healthy for you", meaning smoking. NO SHIT! That was not what pissed uss off. What we were angry at was these two assholes assumed
I can recall only one time when a JW pissed me off, and that was over 25 years ago. A party of four of them showed up at my door one Saturday afternoon. The eldest, a woman in her mid-50's, started ranting, in a very surly tone, how evolutionary science was all bogus and how the universe couldn't have popped into existence from nothing. I assumed that she was angry because the neighbors had given her a hard time, but that didn't give her a legitimate excuse to be rude to me. I responded in kind, telling her that I didn't like to be addressed in that tone and that she was clearly a brainwashed, intellectual illiterate who couldn't think for herself. Then I told them all to get off my property before I called the police. I still received visits from JW's from time to time, but these four never showed up again.
