Best Answer

Jehovah's Witnesses use Kingdom Hals for worship. A church refers to the people who attend; it is not a building. Therefore, they do not cover their members.

During and after WW2, there was a lot of vandalism and backlash against Jehovahs Witnesses due to their neutrality regarding war. This resulted in damage to buildings and security issues for people attending. Today, safety glass is used on most Kingdom Halls. Window coverings are not required in such cases unless perhaps the heat of the sun creates uncomfortable conditions, which are not condusive to study, which is the purpose for the building. In such a situation, a moveable covering would be a simple, effective solution.

Windows in a Kingdom Hall may be covered for privacy reasons during meetings or events, to prevent distractions, or to focus attention on what is happening inside the building rather than outside. It may also be to regulate the amount of sunlight entering the building for temperature control.

Why do the Jehovah witinesses have no windows in their kingdom halls?

The reason why Jehovah's Witnesses have no windows in their kingdom hall is because its post to save electricity during the summer of when the air condition is in use. The other thing is that its an auditorium and you don't really see windows in any auditorium so its also good for projection presentation such as slide shows. Also not all kingdom hall don't have windows. There are some that do.


Why do jehovah's witness churches have no windows?

They DO have windows; Kingdom Halls are modest in nature and are used strictly as a place of worship to our Grand Creator, and depending on the country, the building type may differ, but here in the US, they do have windows.Some do some don't. Those that don't do not for reasons of security and cost.


Why are there no windows in the Jehovah's Witnesses Kingdom Halls?

There are windows in thousands of Kingdom Halls of Jehovah's Witnesses. When there are no windows this will be to deter vandalism. The Awake magazine printed by Jehovah's Witnesses 22nd Aug '72 p23 says, ''The building is windowless as a safeguard against vandalism (a common feature of many city Kingdom Halls)'' It is also said that some did not have window built in to save money. The reasons were to reduce cost, simplify design, speed up construction, and to reduce the utilities needed to heat and cool the Hall. However, in recent years the organization has begun including windows for the reason that we want people outside the Hall to see what's going on inside the Hall. So, those who are in charge of overseeing the building committees have decided that the benefits of windows outweigh the cost and design issues. So, on our newest Halls, we have been including windows in the auditorium in the US. Worldwide, however, in some countries, it is impractical to include windows. In some areas, windows are much more expensive, and building skills on the part of the workers may be limited. Therefore, especially in developing countries, Jehovah's Witness Kingdom Halls may continue to exclude windows in the auditorium.
