When I first moved into this house in the country, I was plagued by
the JWs for several years. I learned that if you start to talk to
them, even just to say 'not interested' they ain't gonna leae without
a fight.

What do you expect, if you continue to stand there? In my experience, it works
just fine to tell them politely: "Thank you, but I'm not interested. Good
day!" then turn around and go back in the house.

Point is the only thing that works is outright rudeness.

The only thing you've found, perhaps -- or tried -- and of course that doesn't
bother them anyway: "Blessed are you when they persecute and revile you for my
sake..."

The method I described above worked fine for me for a long time. Then, about
eight years ago, I found an even better one. I tell the JWs we're Roman
Catholic [true, BTW] and happy with it [also true].

They don't seem to want to stick around long after that.

At our previous house, the crucifix hanging on the living room wall was
*clearly* visible as soon as the front door was opened. They just didn't seem
to want to stick around.

I'm not really sure why.

But I'm not complaining.

Nor am I rude to the JWs. It's neither necessary, nor right.
