I got leafleted by Jews for Jesus when I was walking down Harvard Street today. Took me a little while to realize what it was, at that point they were a block away.
I'm never quite sure the best approach with them. I really don't want to get into a confrontation, nor do I want to take a leaflet. But sometimes I consider that every leaflet I take costs them money.
Take a leaflet. Tear it up. Say "oops" and ask for another. Lather, rinse, repeat.
Whatever you do, don't try to argue with them. It only attracts attention, and other people who may have walked away will be right there to be targeted whenever you eventually decide to give up and go home. They're MISSIONARIES - they ain't never gonna admit that you're right.
