I've heard tell of some pagans who knew that the Witnesses were in town, so they all got together, dressed up in ritual garb and hung around until they arrived. When they rang on the doorbell, one of them opened the door, let them get two words into their opening schpiel and then said "Oh! Come in, COME IN! The master said the sacrifices would present themselves...!" and opened the door so the witnesses could see the others in the room, and the candles, and the ritual knives...
They turned and ran, and never knocked on their door again.
Personally, I think that's mean. I just say I don't have time right now, but I'd love some of their literature. The literature eventually winds up as concert posters or idea fodder, and they go away smiling, too.

Personally, I think that's mean. Not to mention a serious felony -- basically a threat of murder. If that's the way it really was played out, which would have been far in excess of what is needed to scare off Jehovah's Witnesses, who (or so the ex-JW founder of Free Minds tells me) are terrified of anything supernatural. A simple claim to manifest some kind of demonic phenomenon would have sent the JW's packing.
