Depends on my mood. I either say I'm busy or tell them I'm atheist. In the latter case, I will not listen about god until they explain why they think he exists and if so why he's the one they think he is. Usually that request ends the conversation.
I've occasionally told Mormons I'll listen to what they have to say if I get to tell them three reason I can't think the Book of Mormon is faked first. That also usually ends the conversation.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

Two weeks ago a JW knocked at my door, it was the first time in some years, I guess I'm a lucky guy. If you don't care about what they'll think, just put a sign saying 'NO JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES PLEASE'. It will work, I think... Or maybe not good enough

Most of the time I honestly just invite them in, offer them tea and cookies, listen to them talk for a bit and then send them on their way.
But that house I lived in when I answered naked (peeking out to be sure they didn't have kids with them), seriously never got another visit from the JWs while I lived there.
I thought about trying it with debt collectors but they usually just call, and I fear it won't get the same reaction.

What? Never heard of someone being so nice to JW, people usually just say 'I'm not interested' and send them away, many people tell them to go fuck themselves

It's not in my nature to be mean to people, no matter how annoying they may be.

I have to be nice and professional with people at work.
If they ignore my sign then it's open season.

They really start getting scared when you reinterpret their own teachings - and do a better job than their mentors.

Draw up a contract with the devil that has you exchanging your soul for the assurance of living to be 100. At the bottom of the page include a termination clause indicating your release of obligation if Christ allows Satan to assfuck him on pay-per-view. Tell the god botherers that unless they can arrange this Christ serves you no purpose.
