I am a Jehovah Witness and I go to the Kingdom Hall on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays and I know for a fact that the Kingdom Hall I go to does have windows. The windows are smaller type windows but they are their. Maybe the windows are small like that because if they where big windows maybe you could get distracted by what is going on out side. Whatever the case on the mystery of the windows, it was the choice of who ever built the Kingdom Hall to choose how the windows would be designed. Maybe some don't have windows I don’t know but I have been in a few other Kingdom Halls and they all had windows. Why is that important? Most bathrooms don't have windows, does that mean you're going to stop using toilet.

Michelle Chang gave great reasons!
I'm a Witness and many of the Kingdom Halls I've gone to are without windows. But I've been to several others which do have windows. It's mostly a matter of cost. It also reduces break-ins in some high-crime areas.

many do. the kingdom hall that I go to has windows. it is cheaper to build kingdom halls without windows. it also depends on the neighborwood. this question and the question about adam and eve having belly buttons is getting real old. adam and eve where created not born. also I can ask the question, why does churches have such fancy windows? churches don't need such fancy windows. we have the doors open in all kingdom halls and anyone can come into the kingdom hall and see what is going on. we are listening to a talk from Jehovah God.

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 the questioner is from such an area, and perhaps even more sad that such religious intolerance occurs worldwide.

Perhaps these anti-Witness bigots fail to understand that their vandalism and persecution actually work to help prove that Jehovah's Witnesses are true Christians.
(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.

Yes they do.
Kingdom halls are built with all volunteer labor. Also, to control construction costs (the halls are built for meetings based on teaching rather than impressing humans with a 'grand structure'), windows, increase the consumption of energy, and also increase maintenance costs. A window free structure is more environmentally friendly than one with windows.
So, the question could be, "Non Jehovah's Witnesses, why do you waste the worlds resources by building structures with unnecessary windows?
Yet, depending on where a hall is located, the addition of windows can save energy. When this is the case, Kingdom halls will, and do have windows.

Any Kingdom halls have windows ?
Please check your facts.
The kingdom hall I when to when I was one had windows as does the one down the road I drive past every other day.
Maybe some I don't know but all I have ever seen have.
That's a broad statement do you have a hidden agenda or just clutching at straws to run others with different views to your down ?

Plenty of Kingdom Halls have windows.
If your local one doesn't, then attend a Sunday meeting and ask someone afterwards.

Interesting question. I was a JW before I got saved. I thought for sure there were windows there. I live in Texas.
