  No windows on Kingdom Halls?

  by just_a_girl in

  i just read a post on another site i belong to (non-jw related) where a person asked if anyone knew why jws do not have windows on their kingdom halls.

  a few other people responded saying that they had noticed the same thing, that they thought it was b/c the jws believe that windows are just an adornment, hence a distraction?.

  in my 20+ years of being a jw and attending quick builds, i never noticed this ... it never even dawned on me ... and now that i try to think back, i can't remember there being any windows at the khs i attended?.

  i was doing some more unpacking and came across a box of my old high school stuff.

  did anyone else get cards like this for graduation?

  i didnt think anything of it at the time of course except i felt guilty as usual for not doing what it suggested but now it pisses me off.

  EEK! They came to my house!

  was expecting a girlfriend over this morning - rushed to the door when bell rang.

  to my surprise/horror, there were 2 jws ... apparently when my mother was visiting last summer, she had mentioned to these "sisters" to come stop by every once in a while, to encourage me to go to meetings.

  they were inviting me to the special talk this sunday ... i politely told them, thanks for the invitation but i already had plans for sunday (sleeping in) ... i don't want to be rude, b/c these 2 particular women are pleasant (it could very well be a farce) but how do i get across to them that i do not wish to be visited in the future?

  Are JW Kids Worse Disproportionately?

  in a conversation with my son, we were going over all the young people he grew up with that were jws.

  there seemed to be an inordinate proportion of felons among them, compared to the "worldly" people in his school.

  and also compared to the people at work that i know whose kids are doing fine now.. our tentative theory is that raising kids as jws can be very damaging to many of them.
