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.
