My goodness, be gracious and listen to them.
Regarding Jehovah's Witnesses: They won't bite. They won't argue. They don't solicit for money, so you won't have to worry about being scammed. The literature is free. They're not soliciting for membership. They just want to read from God's Word. How innocent can you get.
Whenever Mormons call at my door (rarely), I graciously listen to them and respectfully answer their questions. Sometimes we have a discussion.
If your wife just left you with the kids, and you're all emotionally distressed at the door, not knowing which way to turn (this has happened all to often when we get to the door); INVITE THEM IN; they will help in ways you can't imagine (using the comforting and counseling advice found in The Bible.)
If you need them to help you move a couch, just invite them to help you. No charge.
If you need something from the store, and you need help due to being sick or in a wheelchair; just give them what the cost would be, maybe throw in a little for gas; and the'll be back in a jiffy. They won't run off with it. They're fully trustworthy (otherwise they'd be disfellowshipped. Not good.)
But If you're busy, just tell them; they will leave.
If you're not interested in being gracious by listening; then simply dismiss them graciously. And we can all move along feeling better for our civil conduct.
(Where do you live? We can practice this Saturday morning.)
