Regarding the OP I also remembered **Voyager** mentioned something in another thread. We were discussing proselytizers, including JWs, and Voyager wrote this… > [@How to Talk To Atheists](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-to-talk-to-atheists/479255/100): > > I don’t have a problem with these people, for they come to my door only once. I think I’m on some sort of proselytizer blacklist. I’d actually welcome more proselytizers, since I love to debate and feel I could give them some of the points in the article directly. **But they all run away from me.** [bolding mine] I was very intrigued about how to make JWs “run away,” and when asked more about it he wrote this… > [@How to Talk To Atheists](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-to-talk-to-atheists/479255/105): > > When the JWs came, I politely said, “sorry, this is a devout atheist household” and that was enough for them to run. No one has bothered me since. Polite but outrageous seems to do it. IOW the simplest solutions are often the most effective ones. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/anti-jehovahs-witness-tactics-need-answer-fast/496434)._
