I don’t understand why anyone would turn them away. I love talking to them about the “finer points” of their religions.

You forgot to mention the political and actavist door knockers. How do you feel about them?

One guy on another forum said he opened the door buck naked and invited them in; they never came back. Not sure I'd advise that technique but I give it props for originality.

Hit on them in the creepiest way possible. It's how I got rid of the Mormons.

I've found they are usually not happy with large barking dogs, and when they ask " can you put your dog away", I say " no", and they turn in the driveway and head towards their van! I've got such a good dog!

I always wanted to meet them at the door wearing a blood-stained sheet with a swastika on my forehead and a raw roast at the end of a butcher knife. "Great! You're just in time for service!". I'd probably only have to do it once.

Answering the door naked usually works for me. It's even more entertaining when I have friends over who want to join in on the fun.

My husband was an ex-Mormon. Took a few years to get the missioners to stop coming by, even when he told them he wasn't into that anymore.

Usually telling them I'm an atheist and that won't change because I don't believe in anything that can't be proved usually keeps even the Baptists away.

Are you saying I didn't really have to burn that pentagram into my front door?
