That’s totally rude. Instead, you should offer them beverages and if they’re not done talking after six or seven hours, invite them to spend the night.
They get the bed - you get the floor.
And in the morning, wake up early and make them breakfast. And if they want to keep talking after breakfast, why you just sit there and listen.
The last time a couple JW's knocked on my door, I ended up arguing with them. They (well,
she, with an apparent trainee) posed a question, "Who is in control of everything?" I replied, "God." Oh they had me then. "No, that's wrong. The devil is in control of everything we see. He rules the Earth." So, I politely explained that as far as I'm concerned, God is in full control. Yes, the devil is said to be the ruler of "the world," but that means he has influence over people OF this world. Christians are not of this world. GOD is in control. There is nothing beyond, or out of his control.
They went on to recommend I come to their church and learn, and I asked for a pamphlet and sent them on their way. The pamphlet was appropriately and immediately filed in the kitchen trashcan.
