What smell takes you back to your dub days?

Old heated paint.

Let me explain. The old KH I went to would give off this strange smell of burnt paint ever time the central heating was put on. I can't strip paint with a hot air gun now without memories of kingdom melodies surfacing.

Autumn leaves, preaching door to door mornings with a new tract declaring some disaster. Just this October I had a deja vu of F.S. 30 years ago in Everett, Mass, while walking a Toronto street. I stopped walking and just took it all in - a day in F.S. alone, a few afternoon bible studies, the evening meetings, and then preparing for the next talk into the night, and it all came from the smell of autumn leaves.

Our kh hosts 2 congregations, so often we had our meetings right after the first congregation, and there was all kinds of odors in there, ranging from a mixture of perfumes to stale air....

ButtLight: was that the smell of the KH or the org in general?

Mine is both ofactory and visual. Big heavy floor buffers and wax! You know, from those "it's our bookstudy's obligation to clean the hall this month" and our floor was asbestos tile, and we buffed it weekly on Saturdays so it would be bright and shinny for the Sunday talk.

That was until they installed commercial heavy wear carpet.

I sure missed running the buffer and hated running the vacuum cleaner.
