What can I say, I believe in truth in advertising  Anywho, this story was related to me by my roomate last semester as something that happened to some of his friends, which means this is about one step away from urban legend territory. Still funny though.
So, my roomate's friends were sharing an apartment in a fairly large complex, nothing too bad, but in the same room, next floor up, lived a couple of Jehovah's Witnesses. Every week, so early that it was still late, they came knocking by on their rounds. The friends got tired of this (duh), and they came up with a plan to stop it. Now, they were active in the SCA(Society for Creative Anachronists), so they got some of their freinds from there to help. These guys were really big, blond guys, I'm talking real Vikings here. Next morning, the Jehovah's Witnesses opened their door to see three big men in full armor, complete with horned helmets, and this is what they hear (In a really bad Nordic accent)
"Hello, we are Odin's witnesses. Have you heard of the glory of Valhalla and the Ygdrassl tree?"
They never knocked on the friends' door again.

 Good story!
I live a bit closer to the Witnesses, though. They have a Reichshall (or whatever the translation`s supposed to be) only ~100 meters away on the same side of the street.
Every week there`s usually at least one big meeting, with cars parked all along the streets nearby. They seem to keep records of where people are receptive, it`s been a few years since they`ve knocked on my door. The last time I unleashed a musician/philosopher on them, and they had to flee before he made them doubt the word of Jehova.

Hey, Jehovah's Witnesses are nice people.

I have never had an encounter with them, but I have various plans of how to mess with their minds the first time they bug.

I have found that two pit bulls frantically pawing at a storm door that is wiggling and bowing and threatening to pop off the little latch is a great way to dissuade Joho's from coming to your house. Or if I'm at home one of my dogs always gets in the bay window when someone approaches my house. I don't get too many solicitors.
Not that my dogs would do much besides knock you down and lick you, but they don't know that. It's about the only time I'm grateful for the bad rap the media gives my dogs.

A friend of mine with a house and a yard started reading NRS207.200 (Tresspass) to witnesses when they came to vist. He then sent a letter to the local kingdom hall about the continued harrassment. Eventually he marched a couple off property at gunpoint (you can get away with that here if you have tresspassed or 86'd them and remain legal)according to the range protection laws still on the books. They finally stopped coming.

Answering the door naked works. Twice.

So, I take it they either didn't notice the first time, or didn't really care?

Answering the door naked sounds like a bad Idea, I mean what if there not who you think they are and their your neighbors wanting to borrow a cup of sugar?

That's what the spyglass in the door is for... besides, either way, you'll get bothered a lot less!
