  Why are there no windows in Jehovah's Witness meeting places? This is an honest question. I do not know and was wondering. Any information appreciated. God Blesds RFrank

  It is much more inexpensive to build a structure with no windows.

  Yes, it is true, building a KH without windows is much less expensive, however, the KH I attended with my family from birth until I was 9yo in National City, CA, did have windows that lookded out on the parking lot. Also, the old Claydell KH in El Cajon, CA had windows up until they remodeled it in recent years. It has been my experience that most KH do not have windows.

  Anyone else's Kingdom Hall have windows to let in the "new light"?

  That's bizzar! They actually went through the expense to REMOVE the windows?

  Growing up as a jw, our king hall windows used to get broken. Getting rid of windows seemed to be a reaction to that. It could also be because windows allowed some distraction during the meetings. Getting rid of them was a refinment of the indoctrination process.

  Had trouble posting

  The hall I went to had windows. I hated sitting next to them because I was afraid someone would drive by and do something bad.

  It also provided a distraction for me. During the metting I would look out the window and daydream about being in a band.

  Yeah, it's true. When i was really young, i used to look stare out the windows. They were almost hypnotic, compared to painful boredom of the talks.
