Why is there no windows in the buildings where JW have theire meetings?

Many of our Kingdom Halls DO have windows. Some don't. The first one I went to did not for safety reasons. As it was we had to keep our air conditioning unit in a steel cage as people kept stealing it. When we tore down one Hall I attended, to renovate and enlarge, we installed windows.

It is also at times much more convienent and less expensive to not put in windows.

We put blinds up but still found it distracting to see cars going by. If you want to know why your local hall does not have windows you should politely ask someone from that Hall.

I can't believe how many times this question has been asked before.

The Kingdom Hall that I go to does have windows, maybe the ones you are talking about have to deal with city building codes etc.

There is nothing that the Witnesses are hiding from others in the Hall. They are always inviting people to come to the KH. If there was anything to hide, they wouldn't invite people over.

Generally, a Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses is built without windows only in areas which tend toward hate crimes and vandalism against houses of worship. Sadly, it seems that the questioner must be from an area with a reputation for bigotry and lawlessness.

Jehovah's Witnesses are proven to be true Christians based upon the Witnesses' preaching work and the anti-Witnesses' bigoted hatred against them.

(2 Timothy 4:3-5) For there will be a period of time when they will not put up with the healthful teaching, but, in accord with their own desires, they will accumulate teachers for themselves to have their ears tickled; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, whereas they will be turned aside to false stories. You, though, keep your senses in all things, suffer evil, do the work of an evangelizer, fully accomplish your ministry.

There always room for funny answers. But it is to keep distractions out of the Hall. It is not just a place of worship, but also of learning and study.

One could also speculate that it is symbolism of "... Not being a part of this world." For nether was Jesus.

This is getting old. Why don’t you just look up the answers to previous question, or take the time to go around to different Kingdom Halls and look for yourself. Though they are designed to blend into a neighborhood, they are easy to find and are listed in any phone book. The Kingdom Halls are fully open for anyone to see, if they didn't fear going in and learning something they didn't know before.

And 30 more in the last six months. If you want to know, go there during a meeting and look. Any time there are cars in the lot there should be a meeting going on. Unless you are afraid.

Here's a few on fast builds of Kingdom Halls.

they build the building, themselves, but none of them know how to install windows.

Because they don't want any non-JW's to know what really goes on. They are not what they claim to be.

maybe they feel what they do or talk about is sacred in someway??? I have no idea

It is part of their tradition.
