Some of the highlights will be a talk at 10 a.m. Saturday on “The Grand Instructor Teaches Us to Benefit Ourselves,” followed by a talk at 11:25 a.m. on “Dedication and Baptism,” and a 1:45 p.m. symposium, “Reject Strange Teachings.” Some of the subjects of the afternoon symposium will be “The Teaching of Balaam,” “You Must Hate Your Enemy,” “Build Bigger Storehouses” and “You Are Bound to Be Like God.”

Sunday’s highlights will include a talk at 1:50 p.m. by Richard Colvin, Hawaii District overseer. His public address will be on “Who Is Rocking the Nations, and How?” The concluding talk will be “Work Hard To Remain In Jehovah’s Teaching!”

In 2 Timothy chapter 3, just before writing the words on which the theme of this program is based, Paul described the critical times that would characterize the last days. He wrote: “Wicked men and impostors will advance from bad to worse, misleading and being misled.” (2 Tim. 3:13).

Provisions are made for those who have a hearing impairment. The program will be broadcast on FM radio in the facility and anyone with a small FM receiver can get the program this way.

The meeting is free and no collections are ever taken. As Jesus said at Matthew 10:8, 9: “You received free, give free. Do not procure gold or silver or copper for your girdle purses.”
