You are being funny! Next time you meet them stop them quietly and nicely. Ask them to take notes about your address, even name and ask them not to visit you again. This will mean that perhaps once a year, or every other year, they will come once to check if you still live there.
Not quite sure how they do it now, but that is how it was done before. If you live in an area where people move a lot, it will probably be a once a year thing.
They have a method to their preaching, and this is one of their common ways of dealing with people who really do not want them to visit. If someone makes a mistake say, 6th month 3 month, it usually is a mistake. They have a territory card where they keep notes of people who really do no want their visits. After all, most of these people are regular folks, and they do not want to meet extremely upset people either (upset at them)!
Have you never asked them how you can get their visits to stop? Or, do you just stand and scream at people! ha ha.

You must be located very close to a Jehovah's Witness Kingdom Hall. I am sorry, first of all, for that unfortunate circumstance. However, firmly (though not outrageously) threatening them that you are going to call the police if they hassle you again is a good way to try to get them off your property. The thing is, it's your property, and it's illegal for anyone to go on it if you don't want them too, especially if they keep coming back. It's trespassing. Call it in to the police, and they'll see about getting them to not do it again. If they do do it again, it's an easily won lawsuit of trespassing on private property after multiple warnings. A tazer would be deliciously vindictive, but I would be careful about using it on others. You don't want to hurt one of these religious losers and have to pay a medical bill for them.
Finally, in taking care of yourself, take a good breather and realize that they are, in fact, idiots--poor, brainwashed idiots who have been spoon fed one of the most vile, misinterpreted concoction of lies Christianity knows of today. You are not alone in this belief, if you believe it, and I think checking in and realizing it will help you feel less tormented by these people. They have no power over you, can't do anything to you except hurt your feelings with their despicable lies. That is all.
It might help for you to place on your fence or door a sign reading "No Solicitors and Jehovah's Nitwits." ;) Best of luck to you.

Look them straight in the eye (don;t be afraid of them they have no special power, except what you allow them). Tell them you are not interested and have you own religion. You have the right to not accept anything they try to hand you. There is no court who would issue a restraining order to restrict freedom of speech or practice of religion. The last time they came to my door I opened it and said "I am a Pagen, What do you want. I want you to get off my property. I do own the house.
When I rented I told them I am a Jew leave me along. It is in the delivery of the statement. You cannot show them you are afraid of them, after all they are just people and you do not have to listen to them. DO NOT ENGAGE WITH THEM and do not accept anything from them.

Simple solution: Donate blood, and get all the blood donor stickers, badges, whatever other stuff they're giving away. Put the stickers in your house window near the front door, wear the badges, etc.
This has a similar effect on JWs as crosses & garlic does to vampires and/or kryptonite to Superman.

Do your laundry and clean up your room- l saw you step over that pile of clothes on the floor to head over to the computer to lodge your complaint.
Get busy limey.

*hassled*
*Jehovah's*
Jehovah's Witnesses have a long history of pestering fine upstanding citizens such as yourself. My suggestions:
If they come to the door, answer the door naked. Scratch yourself vigorously as you tell them you'd like to listen, but they've interrupted your Satanic ritual.
If they accost you on the street, just start screaming, "Rape! Rape!"

No joke.
Ask Jesus for help to keep them away. It worked for me.
