Did your K Hall have "Vomit" carpet like this?

Open mind

The hall I grew up in had hideous carpet from a company in Georgia, USA that was purportedly owned by JWs called "World Carpet" (not very spiritual sounding in retrospect). I saw this monstrous stuff all over the USA. I'm pretty sure Bethel facilities even got some of this stuff back in then.

Fast forward 2 or 3 DECADES and have a look at this YouTube video of a "newly refurbished" Assembly Hall in New Zealand.

I guess the brothers in Georgia were finally able to unload what was left of that 1980's nausea.

Anybody else have this stuff in their KH growing up?

(Embedding doesn't work. Sorry. You'll have to cut and paste it I guess. Fast forward to 0:55 to see the Vomit Carpet in all it's glory.)

Ugh, I remember those gross "earth tone patterns" we used to have. Brown, tan, and orange. No thanks!

One hall I went to had the seats upholstered in a big block plaid of orange, green, black and gold. It was like looking at lumberjacks on LSD.

I swear, it used to give me headaches...either that or the crappy flourescent lighting.

I'm speachless.....it's mindbending carpet. I can see headaches coming on.

Once you've been to one off-Strip joint in Vegas you been to them all :-) same carpet, different nausea....

It looks like something out of Vegas, I agree.

It kind of has a "cheap whore house" look to it. How appropriate.

My issue were the ugly chairs at the A$$embly Hell. They were an ugly salmon color, on a teal carpet (). And they were felt--it seemed so wimpy that the slightest snag would rip a gash in one of the seats. They had a rule against ink pens, because they would make a mark on the seats (people brought them in, and made marks on them, anyways)--I would think navy blue seats would hide ink marks better than sick salmon.
