I hate to shatter your preconcieved ideas, but there is no secret underwear, and we don't predict the future.
You will find conspiracy theorists everywhere who all have an opinion on the Freemasons born of ignorance and wishful thinking. There may be some New World Order stuff at work amongst powerful people who happen to be Freemasons but Freemasonry itself is dedicated to enlightenment and charity.

Would You Kill Some One If Your Government Told You To?

When you say "some people deserve to die now" are you referring to those your government classifies as the enemy without any judgement from you, and so you just follow orders and kill them? I supposing that's what you mean from the context am I understanding you correctly?
My answer would have to be twofold - firstly if I were in military service then I would be expected to follow orders, including those to kill people. Part of the standing military law of both the US and UK (and Australia) are that military orders must be lawful and that a soldier is obliged NOT to follow orders that are not lawful, now that is obviously open to interpretation. If I were needlessly ordered to open fire on unarmed civilians then I think I would refuse, however if those unarmed civilians were causing a greater danger then I would carry out the order and open fire. So to answer that facet of your question I guess I would say no, under certain circumstances my judgement would be to not follow orders.
However, in saying that "some people deserve to die", I meant just that, that there are many circumstances where I would quite happily kill someone and not lose sleep over it. I find it surprising that anyone could say that there are no circumstances where they would kill, that person would have to be completely emotionless or unwilling to stand up and defend themselves.

No there are not Freemasons in the witnesses, the two things are not really compatible.
As Freemasons we believe in making the world a better place now by acting in a way that is governed by brotherly love, relief and truth. Being a witness means living a life that is ruled by conditional love, fear and lies.

I've always felt this way, I was only in the army for a very short time before getting an injury and a medical discharge. My point in sharing that I joined the army was that I fully realised that I could well be ordered to go into situations where I had to kill, and I never had a problem with that.
People die, it's a natural process and is nothing to be afraid of. Some people deserve to die now, why be afraid to help them on their way? I understand that some people have an ethical problem with ending life, I don't.
If someone threatened myself or anyone dear to me then they wouldn't get a second opportunity.

yes I would. I joined the army when I was 19 and if told to go to war and kill people then I would have done so; I don't understand the squeamishness some people have about the concept of killing people, I can think of several circumstances where I would do so without a second thought.

5480 x 2.3864 = 13077 so 238% is correct, sort of.
But then again it is incorrect for the question you are trying to answer.
America uses 13077 per capita, Russia uses 5480 per capita so each American uses 7597 more per head than Russia. 7597/5480= 1.386 so Americans use 138% MORE than Russians.
If you are looking to calculate the percentage difference between two things you are looking for the percentage difference from the lower figure to the higher.
If I eat two burgers and you eat 4 burgers then you have eaten 200% of the burgers that I have, however you have eaten 100% more than I have.

We bought a Toyota Echo (Yaris in the UK/Canada) when we first landed here and I wish we had spent $1000 more to get a corolla. Toyota will give you a safe, reliable and cheap to run car which ever model you go for but the Echo is not really comfortable for long journeys, you also get very limited boot space.
The Camry is fantastic if you are looking for a slightly larger family car but if you are going for AWD then I would look very hard at the Nissan Xtrail which comes in at the same price as the Subaru Forester.

Do you get "tired" of "Apostates/ex-jws" bashing the WT to you?
by booker-t ini know it is good to let out pent up anger for healing purposes, but do you ever get tired of some "apostates or ex-jws" constantly bashing the wt?
for instance when you or having lunch and all they do is say "the evil wt this the evil wt that" during the whole time you are at lunch?
sometimes i just don't feel like hearing it especially when i am at an event for fun.

I think it's part of the healing process - you need to get the anger out there and dealt with. You have obviously moved on from that stage but your friend has not, give them your support but explain to them that they need to give it a bit of a rest some times.
