Generally, a Kingdom Hall is built without windows only in areas which tend toward hate crimes and vandalism against houses of worship. Sadly, it seems that this questioner is from such an area.
One wonders if vandals and anti-Witnesses understand that 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.

The Kingdom Halls of Jehovah’s Witnesses (their church buildings) are design without or with small column like windows for the design and cost effectiveness both during the build process, and up keep. The buildings structure are built and maintained and paid for through volunteer donation of money, time and workers, it is very important to keep cost and up keep to a modest level. No or small widows also helps out on security issues and cuts down equipment loss or on temptation for someone breaking in and stealing…destroying….through a break ins of the windows. These are public buildings and anyone is welcome to visit any location during open hours to see inside or you may call the phone number in the yellow or white pages to set up an appointment to visit. I have seen many of these building and they are very modest but beautiful .They are not a cult.
Kingdom Halls are located all around the world not just USA.
They do a social type work that teaches people life skills as well as teaching of the bible. They are law abiding and neutrally political. The people I have meet have always been very kind and open about their religion.

why are people so stick on why the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah Witnesses don't have windows? number 1. the kingdom hall that I go to do have windows, so there. many don't because we would be looking out the window instead of listening to the talk. windows break easy and it costs less to build a kingdom hall with out windows. in many countries there are windows. we are not hiding anything, and the doors are always open. we are not a cult and everyone is invited to come in. what is the y? it is spelled Jehovah Witnesses and it is called a kingdom hall not a church in 235 lands. we are not nude. we are wearing cloths. people are answering very stupid. they know nothing about us. remember the doors are open, why don't you look in and see for yourself. a cult is worshipping a man, we worship Jehovah and his son Jesus Christ. learn the difference. we are not a cult. I am tired of the slander, what comes around will go around. why do the churches have such fancy windows? who do you think pays for the fancy windows? you do. you don't need windows. our homes have windows because we are not listening to a talk. by the way, we love the sun shine, the first person is talking about son, yes I love my son that I gave birth to. learn the difference. I would like to ask all of you. why are churches losing so many members? I will answer that for you, because they are becoming Jehovah Witnesses that is why. everyday more and more people are turning to Jehovah and Jesus Christ. also what are you hiding in your churches? we don't have a coin box going around and if you don't put in hundred dollars or more they want more money.

I don't understand why this question crops up so often.It is so petty and has nothing to do with anything,really.
The Kingdom Hall that I attend have massive windows down both sides.Kingdom Halls are built on donations.
Not only that the work itself is done by tradesmen who are witnesses,who give up their own time.What building materials that have not been able to be purchased through donations,are donated by various brothers.Sometimes,it may be cheaper to have fewer windows.Or the building is just constructed for one reason or another not to have any windows,(not that I have seen any Kingdom Halls without windows).
It really doesn't matter.We could all meet underground,and still worship our heavenly father,Jehovah.
It is an added bonus to be able to meet in a lovely Kingdom Hall,whether it has windows or not.

No, no longer all Kingdom Halls are windowless. thanks for Asking, courteously, instead of angrily making up a reason, as has been done on the following before. i'm a Christian, one in all Jehovah's Witnesses. some Halls have abode windows, some do not. that is more inexpensive to construct without abode windows. also, it ought to typically be a secure practices situation, as to how the corridor is built. One corridor I attended changed into brick without abode windows, and when we were lengthy gone we had to fasten Iron Gates over the metal doors. It turned right into a foul community. We even had a brick cage round our AC unit, because of each of the thefts.

I've often wondered this also ... just out of curiosity. But I've never dealt with any Jehovah's Witnesses to find out.
Some Mormon buildings are also somewhat sealed off ... as I understand it there are certain places in main regional buildings where only "adult" Mormons are allowed to enter ... and there's a room in the temple at Salt Lake City, Utah called "The Holiest of Holies" ... or something like that ... and only the leader of the council is allowed to enter ... I think that's what my Mormon friend said.

They believe there will come a time when the entire world of unbelievers will turn on the only true faith left - them.
It may be for security reasons, no windows, no glass to break.

I've always thought that they didn't want their congregations staring out windows instead of listening.

It's a little known fact that they worship in the nude. And so they don't want you or any of your perv friends in the neighborhood to be peeking in.
