Has anyone ever gotten rid of a Jehovah's Witness as quickly as I just did?
I had a knock at the door, as soon as I opened it i knew there was something funny going on, as a man introduced himself and his wife. There were three or four other people on the block (four units). The man had a briefcase, and drew out a booklet, as soon as this appeared I said "Sorry, not interested". He replied "I trust you have a different faith then". I replied "no, none".
Good work, darth dirt, 10 seconds faster than myself
yes, let's have a beer, I can be sarcastic too
By the way, this question was in jest, I am quite aware of the fact that JW's can be gotten rid of much quicker...perhaps I was looking for other peoples experiences, how other people deal with people knocking on your door and trying to convince you to follow them

aren't they the ones that can't read any other books besides their book or something?? i heard it was because the leaders were afraid they'd find out how ridiculous their religion is....

Boring, The fastest way is to open n close your door. But of course you are too lame for that. I must admitt though, if I ever read about you in a annual book I''ll laugh!

No, even though Im not one I take the time to listen what they have to say then politely say Im not interested. It's takes guts to knock at peoples doors and try to help others I guess.

I've never yet had to be rude to a Jehovah's Witness. I simply tell them that I'm not interested and ask them to please place me on their "do not visit" list. It may take a little longer than some of the above solutions, but it suits me better. I'm not religious myself, but I respect the idea behind what they do.

I was out side in my yard and a van pulled up with 2 people in it ., the man started to get out & i seen a Bible in his hand. He didn't even get all the way out & i said If you are a Jehovah's Witness then You might as well get back out the drive. We already go to a Church Of God & i don't want to talk. Away they went.

No, I have never done that. I just tell them that I have my own beliefs and ask them to respect that. They usually do.
They sent me a free painting once with no strings attached. It was really nice.

WOW!!!
You should be proud of yourself!
What city do you live in? I want to take a full page ad and let the entire city know how awesome of a job you did!

Congratulations.
Although, I must admit I've met other closed-minded people who are a lot quicker than that.
Do yourself a favour & the next time one of them calls, ask them why they keep calling

Nice!
I co-incidentally once had a Nine Inch Nails song playing when I opened the door, and the lyrics coming out the stereo were: "god is dead and no one cares". I saw the jaw drop, glanced at the flier, gave a demented laugh, and shut the door.
I am not usually that evil, meaning to say: I don't knock on people doors and harass them about religion.

You're probably faster than I was--I was at the park, and the guy came up, well two of them in suits. They were like "Are you Christian?" I was like "Yes." They were like "Well are you interested in coming to the..." uhh, I don't remember, I don't think it's the LDS church, but I said........"No thank you, you're not Christians. Good bye."
So..it was about 30 seconds.
