All it takes to be put on the Jehovah Witness "Don't Knock On This Door List" is to answer the door naked, and invite them all in for coffee.

I've only had to do that once in the 12 years I've lived in the same neighborhood as a Kingdom Hall.

It was about 6 years ago if I remember correctly. I see them knocking on other peoples doors, but they don't knock on mine anymore.

I've heard tell of some pagans who knew that the Witnesses were in town, so they all got together, dressed up in ritual garb and hung around until they arrived. When they rang on the doorbell, one of them opened the door, let them get two words into their opening schpiel and then said "Oh! Come in, COME IN! The master said the sacrifices would present themselves...!" and opened the door so the witnesses could see the others in the room, and the candles, and the ritual knives...

They turned and ran, and never knocked on their door again.

Personally, I think that's mean. I just say I don't have time right now, but I'd love some of their literature. The literature eventually winds up as concert posters or idea fodder, and they go away smiling, too.
