The numerous Kingdom Halls of the Jehovah's Witnesses never seem to have any windows. Why is this?

I am one of Jehovahs witnesses. Some kingdom Halls have windows. Some dont because they can be smashed out by people who dislike us. My kindom hall has windows. I invite people to attend one and see what goes on. Its nothing out of the ordinary! And as for the light thing that was posted ealier, theres no truth to that .

Of course we have windows! I am assuming that somebody somewhere has seen a kingdom hall without windows? Thats a new one on me but maybe the vandalism is very high there??? There is nothing secretive about Jehovah's Witnesses. Just have a look at the posted meeting times and come along. Of course you will be welcome.

Windows are not necessary to learning the Bible. Since most other religion don't teach, but just preach, the Bible, learning is not necessary. In areas of extreme weather, it also makes the Kingdom Halls more environmentally friendly, using less gas or electric to heat or cool. You don't find that in the enormous, non-jW churches, with large windows, which are usually covered with idolic symbols, so people can't see out of them anyway.

This is likely because many Kingdom Halls get vandalized by those who oppose their preaching work in line with Matthew 24:14
" And this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come."
Eliminating windows, they don't have the issue of them being broken out, and it makes it harder to break in and vandalize them.

The jehovahs witness are a cult of noncatholics their cult have no windows because they feel the light of Jehovaha comes fro within not from the out side , since they are not christians no wonder

They don't want anyone to see all of the weird stuff that goes on inside. They don't want outsiders to see what they do in there.

They don't want you to see what really goes on inside.
