being 6'2" and 225 lbs I would take the free pizza and then say Fuck Off.  No shame in a free pie!

I know right.....I cant help but see a free pie as a net gain.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

If you've got the time some day try inviting the JW in and then go psycho on them. It's kind of fun to watch the panic behavior. They might secretly mark your house as a "no go" area.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

The only similar thing I've encountered is Mormon missionaries who offer to help with my weeding. Someday I should say yes just to see how dirty white shirts can get.
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.

No, but if someone wants to pay for a tank of gas I'll be happy to stand there for a few minutes while they talk about religion. I will go to their service station of choice every two weeks, and they can pay $30 for my time. I'll sit at a ten minute bible study for that. While eating some chocolate, and drinking some coke. Sounds quite tolerable.

30$ every two weeks....?  What do you drive...a hedge trimmer? I'm a bit jealous....can't deny it. I'd need to find me some -far- more generous christers.

If you want to be marked as a no-go, all you have to do is tell them you're disFellowshipped. They're forbidden contact, and will not return.

My pleasure, brother. Protecting you from JW dickwads since 1966, that's my motto.

I'm not quite sure what I said to the last JWs the rolled through my neighborhood, but they haven't been back to my place - even though they still troll the neighborhood.

I'm pretty sure they think I'm one of Satan's minions.
