Dear Elliot
Hi Elliot. Did you know that I don't have your e-mail address? Maybe you could send it to me, my e-mail address is my first name -dot- my last name at gmail. (Forgive my paranoia at not typing it out properly.) Anyway, I know you read my blog so this is me sending you an e-mail alternative.
There's a question I've been meaning to ask you: How come Kingdom Halls never have windows?
That's all. Please post a comment or just e-mail me back.

Gah! That was startling. Like having the news announcer on TV address you by name!
Well, I'll definitely send you an e-mail so you'll have my address. (Um...did you take Aaron's last name or keep yours?)
The reason is, from what I was told: JWs are not always very popular with neighbours, and their Hall windows tend to get vandalized. If you get tired of the JWs knocking on your door, the temptation is to go break their windows, I suppose. The Kingdom Hall I went to did have a skylight and two small windows in the doors but that was it.
Also, JWs are very utilitarian and iconoclastic, so they don't have any use for stained glass. They try to distance themselves as much as possible from Christendom's trappings.
...
Kind of boring, huh? Ok, fine, the REAL reason is the naked drunken orgies we would always hold! Man, those were fun! But you wouldn't want non-JWs to see!
This is not Elliot, it's Melissa.
They don't have windows because people smash them. (Seriously!)
Thanks, and sorry if I shocked you! I took Aaron's last name, so I'm a Sportack now.
(If I put my last name here in the comments, at least only human beings can figure out my e-mail address instead of a computer program that's out to get me...)
