What conditions do Winston and Julia agree to follow?

Your question is not entirely clear, however I will do my best to answer it.

I BELIEVE that you are asking what conditions they agree to follow when O'Brien is asking them to become members of the Brotherhood.

They agree to give their lives, commit murder, commit acts of sabotage which may cause the death of hundreds of innocent people, betray their country to foreign powers, cheat, forge, blackmail, corrupt the minds of children, distribute habit-forming drugs, encourage prostitution, disseminate venereal diseases, do anything which is likely to cause demoralization and weaken the power of the Party, throw sulphuric acid in a child's face, lose their identity and live out the rest of their lives as waiters or dock workers, and commit suicide if and when the Brotherhood says to do so. The condition of O'Brien's that the two do not agree to do is to separate and never see each other again.

They also make a pact between each other to not sell each other out when they are eventually caught, and to never stop loving each other.

In the story 1984 by George Orwell why did Winston hate living with Katherine?

Katherine signifies the typical behaviour of a girl in the society. She treats sex as their duty to the party, feels uncomfortable when she's not with the group (when they got lost during the tracking) just like how a girl ought to behave.
Of course Winston is different from the typical citizen, so having sex with Katherine was a dread from him since she's like a wood with no feeling, just like how he had described it. Hence, to Winston, Katherine is just like any other girl in the society who is controlled by the party.

Are the wars in the book 1984 real?

I believe they are metaphorical wars going inside the head of people living in the continents of Oceania, Eurasia and Eastasia. Although the idealogies are similar the continents fight with one another often times outnumbering one continent and therefore winning by contradictions. The ideologies are Socialism, Neo-Bolveshism and Buddhism which he thinks are trademarks to a dictatorship run society without knowledge of it. The former has the Ingsoc attribute. The Ingsoc signifies the power of the future and the way to freedom for all however the the meaning is associated to a double standard where freedom is for all but also slavery to others.

What is the message behind a Christmas carrol?

That you are not beyond redemption. Anyone can change for the better, even the stingiest, most rotten old (bleep, bleep) in the world.
