When it comes to Jehovah's Witnesses before you meet you (if that is the case), pray. Then let them say their say, and then tell about what Jesus did and other things. Also, if you are well versed with what their version of the Bible says use that to your advantage in reaching them with the gospel. God bless.
As Christians, we have no choice but to be nice to the JWs. They are as lost as we were before we knew the truth. Now this does not necessarily mean that you invite them in. If you do, they will not leave unless you tell them to leave.
While they are at the door, tell them that you have studied the truth. If possible, share your testimony in short without allowing them to interrupt.
Also tell them that their doctrine is not in line with the Bible, and therefore you are not interested in what they have to say.
Do not answer any questions from them such as, "What is the name of God?"
Telling them that they are wrong will make no difference to them; so tell them that you are not interested in knowing their views and that you are about to shut the door.
Warning: Do not even try to discuss the Bible with them (if you have not researched the JWs), as they will leave you frustrated and walk away with a sense of victory (that is if you manage to shut the door on them
).
You stand a good chance of losing, as these guys are rigorously trained how to refute every scripture that is used against them.
If you discuss the Bible with them, you will end up inviting them in and wasting days, weeks and months of you time only to say, "I shouldn't have invited them in in first place."
Why does a JW go from door to door?
You must realize that a JW goes from door to door because they believe that they must work hard in order to be a part of the "Kingdom Rule" on earth.
They believe that they cannot be born again and cannot enter heaven.
Heaven is open to only 144,000 anointed ones, and that this number has been reached since 1935 or something.
They also believe that there are about 8000 anointed ones (out of these 144000) still alive on earth. The rest of the JWs are the "other sheep."
Since they are the "other sheep" they must work hard in a bid to be accepted by God. This is why they go from door to door, to earn their salvation.
The 8000 anointed elders (as they believe) form the governing body and is the only link between man and God.
The Watchtower is God's chosen slave in this generation, and everyone must comply with it.
They are told that one cannot understand the Bible without the interpretation by the Watchtower.
A JW lives in fear. Their doctrine is a very sad one, and the Watchtower is a multimillion dollar money making corporate giant.
I once told a young JW who knocked at my door, to stop listening to the WatchTower, and to read only the Bible. I told him that if he did not believe me now (that the WT was wrong), he would anyway believe me when he was 80, after he had paid a high price and lost his friends, family and career.
A JW will never listen to you. However, we must tell them the truth in a bid to save them. They may walk away at the moment, but when they experience the burdens placed on them by the Watchtower, they may someday think about what you have said.

Matthew 10: 11-22 [SUP]11 [/SUP] “Into whatever city or village you enter, search out who in it is deserving, and stay there until you leave. [SUP]12 [/SUP] When you enter the house, greet the household. [SUP]13 [/SUP] If the house is deserving, let the peace you wish it come upon it; but if it is not deserving, let the peace from you return upon you.

I easily got the JW's to stop knocking on my door by challenging them to perform miracles such as healing the sick, raising the dead, and turning water into wine. After all, they claim to be the one and only TRUE church of God to the exclusion of all others. And I point out that the Bible promises that the true church would do all that and more.
Naturally they don't come around anymore.
