If a JW approaches, just politely tell them you're an apostate, and they'll leave you alone.
Those people are genuinely brain washed into believing they are going save your life if they convert you.
If you tell them you're an apostate, you're telling them you're ex JW, and you've been exiled, so they'll turn around and refuse to talk to you. I say be polite because they're just humans trying to "save your life"
The apostate thing won't always work. It requires a couple of steps. The terminology you want to use is to say "I'm DF'd" or "I'm disfellowshipped". That means they are not actually allowed to talk to you. They won't even say okay, they just leave. Works 100% of the time IME.

It sounds like it would work, im unshure if thats the safest or least safe way of convincing them to leave you alone. depends on if they think your a lost cause, a satan warshipper or re saveable
I've done that actually. It's only been 2 months since that encounter but here's hoping.
