Serious answer: Ignore. Better not to piss them off too much. If they don't leave you alone, crack some Xenu jokes but don't push further than that. They are butthurt and quick to anger. I recommend you watch the documentary Going Clear.

Less-serious answer: Congrats on being wealthy enough to be propositioned by scientologists! That's how you know you've made it!

When approached by bible thumpers, I just tell them that I am Wiccan. End of story.

In all seriousness, I'd tell them that you're not interested, and then if they continue to call, block 'em.

I like the CL firewood approach, except pretend it's a penis pump you were selling.

That's a little bit creepy. Did you forget to return a key or something?

I'm nowhere near rich enough to pop up on their radar. If I were to, I'd handle it like other solicitations: hang up. I don't care how 'aggressive' they can get, if provoked I can be much worse. And since they are bugging me (instead of the other way around) I'm automatically dealing from a position of strength. You are in the same position: YOU are running the show, not them. Respond accordingly.

I did answer the door once when the Jehovah's Witnesses came calling wearing nothing but my underwear, drinking a glass of whiskey. Those two little old ladies got gone pretty quick, haven't been back.

Used to answer the holding a beer with Steppenwolf's "The Pusher" blasting on the stereo. They didn't bother staying.

Buddy was cleaning his SXS 12Ga when they came knocking. Not wanting to leave an unattended shotgun on a table with a child around, He grabbed it and carried it to the door. They threw some copies of the watchtower at him and hightailed it out of there. Said it was the best idea that never occurred to him.
