IsaacJS2 had a link to the Uncyclopedia, a joke verson of Wikipedia. His thread was

Anyway, the uncyclopedia is pretty good. I tried to make a link to the definition of
Kingdom Hall, but they deleted it. I guess it wasn't good enough. So I will start this off
with my definition of Kingdom Hall for your submission. You might like to define

Plenty of others- read the uncyclopedia rules (if you want) on how you should be
funny. Otherwise just have fun with it.
Here's mine:
Kingdom Hall- a building where Jehovah's Witnesses meet so that their minds are all in harmony with the
Governing Body (leaders) of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, their parent corporation. These buildings
are never referred to as "churches" although that is what they are. If you say "Oh, you mean a church." the
Witnesses will run away from you expecting lightning to strike you instantly. (This is the secret way to get rid
of Jehovah's Witnesses.)
Kingdom Halls usually have 200 seats or so which are fairly uncomfortable. Witnesses sit in them to hear lectures
about Jehovah God, the lectures being extremely uncomfortable. The building usually have no windows in them.
It is believed that this facilitates their belief that everyone outside is being struck by lightning for missing the lecture.
It is also believed that no windows hides the rituals going on inside the building. Rituals, according to sources,
include offering of children to the parent corporation should they need them for any tasks, and slapping crying
babies that dare to cry during the meetings. The same sources say that songs are used to induce a feeling of
oneness with the leaders and to gently push the minds of members into believing everything they hear inside the
building.
Kingdom Halls are built in 3 days by volunteers. Nobody knows what the hurry is, but it leads to shoddy construction.
If they were to take longer, perhaps they could get windows, and perhaps the plumbing would work better.
After construction is complete, the Witnesses who regularly use the building spend every Saturday thereafter
trying to repair and clean the results of the shoddy construction.
Virtually every Kingdom Hall has a parking lot that is not big enough for all the automobiles brought to each meeting,
so the Witnesses park in the surrounding neighborhood, making sure to walk on the resident's grass and talk loudly
after 10 PM on their way out of the Kingdom Hall.
All visitors are welcome to the Kingdom Hall for any of their meetings. No collections are taken, they just ask you to
leave your brain at the door.
