Your Questions About Church Windows

Steven asks…
JW: Why does Kingdom Hall building have no windows?
I recently found a Kingdom Hall building, or meeting house of Jehovah’s Witnesses, in my neighborhood. Unlike most of church buildings, it didn’t have any windows. It just looked like a huge concrete box with few doors.
And why is this? I don’t find any reason why a building shouldn’t have windows. Anyone with good clue? Help. Thanks.

Doug answers:
Just a wild guess. They got tired of people breaking them.

Donald asks…
Ideas for decorating a round/hexagonal church?
Does anyone have any ideas and/or pictures for how to decorate a church that is hexagonal with chairs instead of pews. The church has a very high ceiling with a skylight and several walls of windows, with a wooden railing for under lighting above each window. Please help; any ideas are really appreciated.

Doug answers:
Don’t worry too much about the surroundings. Concentrate your decorating efforts to where you and your groom will be standing as you take your vows. That’s the only place people will actually be looking, anyway. Candelabra stands and floral arrangements on pedestals are beautiful. Attach large tulle bows to the sides of the chairs on the aisles if you think you need them and maybe add a couple of flowers to the bows on the front row bows.
Your reception decorations will be viewed for a much longer time than the ceremony’s. Put your money and energy into those, instead.

Sandra asks…
We have an extra Dell PowerEdge Server. Can we use it to host our email at our church?
It has Windows Server 2003 on it. We want to save some money and we think this might be a good option for us to have as many email addresses as we would like.
Is this possible and how do we do it?

Doug answers:
The easiest way to do it would be running Microsoft Exchange server. It’s really not easy to configure this for security and stability. You will have to buy Exchange Server and it’s not exactly cheap. You will also have to install it, create user accounts (if you are running a Windows AD domain then you can use those user accounts). You will have to set up DNS correctly (Add an MX record that points to your email server). You will also have to set up your firewall, so that no one can attack the server and use it as an open relay to send out spam. If you want your users to be able to access the server through web (webmail), you will need to set up Outlook Web Access (OWA).
As you can see it’s very complicated to setup, and correctly run an email server. I would look into something like Google Apps. It’s cheap, and works well.
