Wow, after reading all of these posts, I feel like I have so much to reply to. But let me just say one thing...I too grew up in this religion but left when i was 17 (which was not that long ago if any of you have figured out - i'm only 18 now, turning 19 soon). yes, i am still dealing with the repercussions of the decision i made, but i feel it was for the best. the one thing i would like to say though is that from having grown up as a JW, i know that we are taught to just simply walk away if someone states outright that they are not interested and do not want to talk. yes, there are some JW's out there who are pushy and don't listen when you say that, and i cannot speak for them, but the majority will be respectful of your wishes and will leave you alone. so its really not necessary to be outright rude to them or to play some joke on them like showing up naked to the door....show respect and they will too....
