And DewDrop, I trust you hid the body of the window salesman well?
Two words: Turkey Vultures.
(I actually ask the Mormon kids if they want a root beer because I know they're away from home and I'd want people to be decent to my kids. But the JW's don't stick around long enough. We must have particularly non-motivated Jehovah Witnesses. Or something. A simple, "No thanks" and they just turn around and go down the road to the next house.)
I've invited them inside for a chat many times over the years. But I stopped about a decade ago. It just got too sad, seeing the same cheerful, middle-aged/elderly women clinging to such absurd beliefs.
Nowadays I tell them I'll take a pamphlet but only if they leave immediately. They generally take me up on it with little or no protestation.
Greet them with open arms and the utmost cordiality. Invite them in, offer coffee and then say with much emotion:
"This is great. You are the First Brothers(or sisters) to visit me since I was kicked out and shunned. Does this mean my ban has ended and Witnesses can talk to me again?"

If I could rep you 10 times I would. LOL....great one.

I learned that from a cousin she was a JW for about 30-40 years and then quit and became a Catholic. Ever since all JW's have been forbidden to speak to her.
I called Terminix but they said there's nothing they can do. Any advice? Opinions? Ideas?
Download some Norwegian Black Metal to play when they come to the door (Darkthrone's "In the Shadow of the Horns" or anything off their "Transylvanian Hunger" album should do particularly well). Crank it when you see them coming down the street, and if they can put up with that hellish racket and actually ring the doorbell, invite them in to worship at a black mass you are holding for <insert Pagan god here>. It also helps if you dress the part, but that would require knowing the exact time they are coming. Don't forget to throw up the Horns and give a hearty "Hail Satan" several times while they are in your presence. You will not regret the stares you'll receive.

Last time they came around I told them I was a lesbian Satanist. Then I asked them for their names so I could honour them in one of our rituals. You should have seen them scatter! They never came back.
When I was nice to them, they kept returning, like a stray cat or raccoon you feed.

That must have been great fun! You gotta do what you can to make them stay away. You found a very creative solution.

That's good Woodrow LI....... I greet them them with cordiality, and have even gone so far as to ask them in for coffee, but that's because we've lived in some pretty remote areas, and the JWs were sometimes the only ones who would seek, find, and approach us...I must admit that the JWs have always been very curteous, kind, and respectful of my family anytime they've come around..I also know they would have stopped coming if I'd asked them....We live closer now, and pretty well see them once every couple of weeks, (they just keep trying to "save" us) I still enjoy their company, they don't push anything on us, and we usually just chat about the gardening, or whatever, veeeery seldom religion....
