Follow Nelly136's advice. It will work for a few years and then you will have to probably do it again. You can also be as polite as you like in a letter without resorting to their low standards of social niceties.
You can either hand the note to the lady or put it in the Kingdom Hall letterbox. You should put it in an envelope addressed to the Elders.

Jackyboy,
Are you sure this person is one of Jehovah's Witnesses and not Pentacostal? I have never heard any Witness tell a study not to watch t.v., listen to music, or play video games because they are what the devil created.....But you never know, some witnesses can be pretty wacky.

Jacky you just have to be firm. Be polite and respectful but you have to say this...."please do not call on me again and please put me on your do-not-call list." If she's a witness she will have to mention this to an elder who might call on you and ask you if this is really what you want to do. You'll politely tell him yes and that will be the end of it. Trust me, witnesses find very few people at the door that are willing to spend anytime with them. If you question their UN stand or anything else they will come back armed to the teeth with all sorts of "important" information to share with you.
I used to love a challenge at the door. Made me stronger, until I got smarter *S*.
One thing you could do is invite them in and have them look at this site. Ahead of time, you could find some threads that really question their validity, e.g, the UN issue. Also, you could go to the bottom of the page and click on the SilentLambs site. This will be a real eye opener for them. My hunch is that you will get about 30 seconds into this approach and they will bolt for the door, never to return again. On the other hand, if they have any curiosity at all, the may just learn something.
Jackyboy. There is a saying which I believe is true
"Its kind to be cruel" sometimes.You would be far better off to tell of the discrepcies you have found out about -than to continue encouraging her in her error.I was in it for over 20 yrs.
I made 10 people J.Ws -For which I now feel very guilty.You will be hurting her for the moment but helping her for the rest of time.
just my opinion)
