It is the ONLY way to stop them from coming, as anything else (from Satanist symbols to Atheism) only seems like a great challenge to zealots. Perhaps some of the more timid or less experienced Witnesses would be frightened away by goat heads, but many of them would just grow more enthusiastic. Instead: Simply ask politely (remember that they sincerely believe they are trying to save your life) that they place you on their "Do Not Call" list. This list is included in every territory map which is checked out by Witnesses engaging in the ministry work. Tell them you've considered it at great length and you do not wish to be called on again under any circumstances. They are bound by their own rules not to knock on your door. Occasionally (maybe once per year, but likely less often), an elder from the church will call on you to see if you have moved, or changed your mind. Simply inform them that you have not and would ask to remain on the list. Trust me....I know this stuff.....sadly. Having been a Witness for many years, please take my advice.

I've never had it go further than asking them to join, they pretty much bolt as fast as possible at that point... if they ask what you mean tell them its an orgy to worship the goddess and you'll be having one every night until the next full moon. I've found telling them I'm agnostic/atheist generally just makes them want to come back and save me... as does telling them I'm saved or to go away because I'm not interested. Half dressed people telling them they're in the middle of a ritual they're welcome to join tends to get rid of them first attempt. Another way I've heard that gets 100% results first try is to say, "Great, I used to be a JW, I have important information to tell you, let me tell you why I left the cult." Apparently they're not allowed to talk to people who are former witnesses (apostates). Peace and good luck getting rid of your witnesses.

The ones after that I told I was already saved. The ones after that I just told to go away and leave me alone. The ones after that I threw off my property. They gave up coming. Twice someone rang up wanting to save me. I asked for her number so I could report her for cold-calling (this is illegal where I live). She never bothered me again either. Sometimes people ring up and ask personal questions about consumer habits, income and so on. Since I find this impudent, and anyway they might be burglars, I always invent things - 5 children, bankruptcy, or huge wealth, or however I fell. They seem to have given up too... I told the first ones I was an atheist.
