I don't think our view on this has changed in the last 30 years. (Italics mine)
Watchtower 2004 1 November 30-31 compared gluttony and drunkenness and made this statement:
"As with the other “works of the flesh,” a Christian who is widely known for his gluttony and who stubbornly refuses to change his greedy behavior ought to be removed from the congregation.—1 Corinthians 5:11, 13."
Also, this article seems to address the question raised specifically:
Questions From Readers (Watchtower 1 May 1986)
▪ Are Jehovah’s Witnesses as firm about gluttony among their members as they are about the harmful tobacco habit?
Jehovah’s Witnesses take a Bible-based stand against tobacco, and they equally accept the Scriptural condemnation of gluttony.
They believe that smoking violates Bible principles. Smoking involves a nicotine addiction. Further, it is unnatural to inhale smoke. Smoking defiles the body, causes health problems, and has shortened lives that should have been used to God’s praise. Smoking also dangerously pollutes air that others breathe; certainly, that is not neighbor love.—2 Corinthians 7:1; Romans 12:1; Mark 12:33.
What, though, about gluttonous overeating? Frankly, the Bible condemns gluttony, which is greedy excess in eating, or voracious overeating. An Israelite son who was unrepentantly “a glutton and a drunkard” was to be executed. (Deuteronomy 21:18-21) Proverbs warns against “having companionship with gluttons.” (Proverbs 28:7; 23:20, 21) Gluttony is also wrong since we are told that “greedy persons” will not inherit God’s Kingdom. (1 Corinthians 6:9, 10; compare 1 Peter 4:3; Philippians 3:18, 19.) Christian overseers are to be “self-controlled,” not “unemployed gluttons.” (Titus 1:8, 12) This is so serious that some overseers have been removed because of their uncontrolled eating.
It must be recognized, however, that determining when gluttony exists is not easy. Eating (in contrast with inhaling tobacco smoke) is natural and proper. Nor is being fat the sole criterion of gluttony; a very thin person might be a glutton. It is not being overweight that the Bible censures but, rather, overeating, which may or may not result in obesity.
Some people are overweight because of glandular disorders or disease, though Professor Judith Rodin holds that only “5 percent of all cases of obesity are caused primarily by medical problems.” Heredity may incline a person to stockiness. Dr. William Bennett comments: “Lots of fat people maintain their weight by eating about what an average-weight person does . . . They are metabolically different.” Certain scientists even feel that if a fat person eats less, his body lowers its metabolic rate so that he burns calories more slowly. But even if a fat person is not a glutton in the sense of being a voracious eater, he (or she) may need to apply more seriously God’s counsel.
For example, Christians should cultivate self-control, which applies to eating too. (Galatians 5:22, 23; 2 Peter 1:5-8) The apostle Paul urged the Christian to be like a runner who “exercises self-control in all things.” Paul ‘pummeled his body and led it as a slave that he should not become disapproved.’ (1 Corinthians 9:24-27) A stout person may have reason to ‘pummel his body’ as to how much, what, when, and how he eats.
Being fat can be dangerous. Reports show that obesity can lead to higher blood pressure and cholesterol levels, adult-onset diabetes, several types of cancer, heart and gallbladder disease, arthritis, and respiratory problems. “A person who is 20 percent overweight faces a death rate one-third higher than average; for those 30 and 50 percent overweight, the rates are 50 and 100 percent higher, respectively.” (The New York Times, February 27, 1985) Similar reports of health problems come from England, Germany, and Italy.
A Christian truly wants to ‘love Jehovah with his whole heart, soul [or, life], mind, and strength.’ (Mark 12:30) Many, upon studying Christianity, quit smoking to preserve their health and life. Should not Christians be just as concerned that being overweight because of overindulgence might undermine their health and their life that is dedicated to Jehovah?
Some people eat more when they are sad, frustrated, lonely, or angry. While being a Christian does not wholly prevent such feelings, rather than finding relief in unnecessary eating, the Christian can turn to God and to his brothers. In this regard read Philippians 4:6, 7, 11-13. Even scientists who hold that a person has a natural inclination toward a certain weight admit that this can be changed. They stress cutting down on high-fat food and increasing physical activity. Interestingly, in many areas a Christian who shares regularly in the door-to-door ministry does much healthful walking and climbing. Paul, too, ‘labored and toiled’ in the ministry.—2 Corinthians 11:26, 27.
Thus, Jehovah’s Witnesses disapprove of gluttony because of what the Bible says. Whatever their weight, they strive to ‘exercise self-control in all things,’ including eating. This is not primarily because of a cultural judgment about fashion but because they want to live by Bible principles and be active Christians having God’s approval.
 

Thank you sister. Beautiful picture with a great meaning    

He was raised up.—Matt. 28:6.
Not many days after Jesus died, the apostle Peter faced a formidable and hostile group of men. They were powerful Jewish religious leaders—the very ones who had orchestrated Jesus’ death. The men demanded an explanation. Peter had healed a man who had been lame from birth, and they wanted to know by what power or in whose name Peter had done this. The apostle courageously answered: “In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you executed on a stake but whom God raised up from the dead, by means of him this man stands here healthy in front of you.” (Acts 4:5-10) Earlier, Peter had fearfully denied Jesus three times. (Mark 14:66-72) What accounted for his courage now that he was before the religious leaders? Holy spirit played a vital role, but so did Peter’s certainty that Jesus had been resurrected. w14 11/15 1:1, 2
 

Ele . . . foi levantado. — Mat. 28:6.
Pouco tempo depois da morte de Jesus, o apóstolo Pedro se viu diante de um grupo de homens ameaçadores e hostis. Eles eram líderes religiosos judaicos — os mesmos que haviam tramado a morte de Jesus. Esses homens influentes exigiram uma explicação. Pedro havia curado um homem coxo de nascença, e eles queriam saber com que poder ou em nome de quem o apóstolo tinha feito isso. Com coragem, Pedro respondeu: “No nome de Jesus Cristo, o nazareno, a quem pregastes numa estaca, mas a quem Deus levantou dentre os mortos, por esse é que este homem está aqui são em pé diante de vós.” (Atos 4:5-10) Algum tempo antes, Pedro, tomado de medo, tinha negado a Jesus três vezes. (Mar. 14:66-72) Agora que ele estava diante desses líderes religiosos, o que lhe deu coragem? O espírito santo teve um papel importante nisso, mas a certeza de Pedro de que Jesus havia sido ressuscitado também foi fundamental. w14 15/11 1:1, 2
 

Thank you sister , I appreciate it.  

Somos colaboradores de Deus. — 1 Cor. 3:9.
Jeová é um trabalhador que tem prazer no que faz. (Sal. 135:6; João 5:17) Para que suas criaturas inteligentes sintam uma alegria e satisfação similar, Jeová confia a elas trabalho agradável e gratificante. Por exemplo, ele permitiu que seu Filho primogênito participasse em sua obra criativa. (Col. 1:15, 16) Durante sua existência pré-humana, Jesus estava ao lado de Deus no céu “como mestre de obras”. (Pro. 8:30) Do começo ao fim, a Bíblia contém exemplos que deixam claro que Jeová sempre designou trabalho a seus filhos espirituais. Depois que Adão e Eva pecaram e foram expulsos de seu lar paradisíaco, Deus “colocou ao oriente do jardim do Éden os querubins e a lâmina chamejante duma espada que se revolvia continuamente para guardar o caminho para a árvore da vida”. (Gên. 3:24) E Revelação 22:6 diz que Jeová “enviou o seu anjo para mostrar aos seus escravos as coisas que têm de ocorrer em breve”. w14 15/10 3:1, 2

What do you think? Better?

Thank you Sister, you are doing a remarkable work, agape

The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.—1 Cor. 15:45.
How would mankind be freed from their struggle with inherited imperfection? Jehovah provided for a Kingdom government made up of “the last Adam” and chosen associates from among mankind. (Rev. 5:9, 10) Those associated with Jesus in heaven will have experienced what it means to be imperfect. For a full thousand years, their joint rulership will provide assistance to those on earth, helping them to overcome the imperfection that they could not conquer on their own. (Rev. 20:6) By the end of the thousand years of Kingdom rule, obedient mankind will have been liberated from all enemies introduced by Adam’s disobedience. w14 9/15 4:12-15

You have an anointing from the holy one.—1 John 2:20.
Only those who have the witness of the spirit that they are God’s children should partake of the Memorial emblems. Those who have received “a spirit of adoption as sons” are God’s spirit-begotten children. His spirit bears witness with their spirit, giving them the realization that they are Jehovah’s anointed sons. (Rom. 8:16, 17) Today, there is only a remnant of the 144,000 footstep followers of Christ, who “have an anointing from the holy one,” Jehovah. It is by means of his spirit that they cry out, “Abba, Father!” (Rom. 8:15) What a blessed relationship they have with God! w15 1/15 2:16

Thank you sister  for kindness Agape

I make a covenant with you.—Luke 22:29.
Unlike other covenants, in which Jehovah is one of the parties to the covenant, the Kingdom covenant is a personal covenant between Jesus and his anointed followers. The 11 faithful apostles had ‘stuck with Jesus in his trials.’ This covenant assured them that they would be with him in heaven and sit on thrones to rule as kings and serve as priests. (Luke 22:28, 30) However, those 11 would not be the only ones to have that privilege. The glorified Jesus appeared to the apostle John in a vision and said: “To the one who conquers I will grant to sit down with me on my throne.” (Rev. 3:21) Thus, the Kingdom covenant is made with the 144,000 anointed Christians.—Rev. 5:9, 10; 7:4. w14 10/15 2:15, 16
Memorial Bible reading: (Daytime events: Nisan 12) Mark 14:1, 2, 10, 11; Matthew 26:1-5, 14-16
 

This cup means the new covenant by virtue of my blood.—1 Cor. 11:25.
Those who rightly partake of the Memorial emblems are absolutely sure that they are parties to the new covenant. God has made the new covenant with the spiritual Israelites. (Gal. 6:15, 16) This covenant has been validated by Christ’s sacrifice and has been made operative by his shed blood. (Luke 22:20) Jesus is the Mediator of the new covenant, and loyal anointed ones taken into it receive a heavenly inheritance. (Heb. 8:6; 9:15) Individuals entitled to partake of the Memorial emblems know that they have also been taken into the Kingdom covenant. (Luke 12:32) Because they are in the Kingdom covenant, faithful anointed ones will reign with Christ as heavenly kings forever.—Rev. 22:5. w15 1/15 2:14, 15

Learn from me, for I am mild-tempered and lowly in heart.—Matt. 11:29.
During his earthly ministry, Jesus spoke and acted in ways that revealed genuine humility. He never called undue attention to himself. Instead, he directed all glory to his Father. (Mark 10:17, 18; John 7:16) He never talked down to his disciples or made them feel inferior. Rather, he dignified them, praising them for the good he saw in them and expressing his confidence in them. (Luke 22:31, 32; John 1:47) Jesus outstandingly showed humility by his obedience. (Phil. 2:5-8) Unlike arrogant individuals who disdain obedience, Jesus humbly submitted to God’s will for him, becoming “obedient to the point of death.” Is it not clear that Jesus, the Son of man, was “lowly in heart”? w15 2/15 1:7
Memorial Bible reading: (Daytime events: Nisan 9) Mark 11:1-11
 

See, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!—John 1:29.
Jesus explained that he came, “not to be ministered to, but to minister and to give his life as a ransom in exchange for many.” (Matt. 20:28) The “many” who would benefit from Jesus’ ransom were not to be limited to repentant Jews. Rather, it is God’s will that “all sorts of people should be saved,” since the ransom “takes away the sin of the world!” (1 Tim. 2:4-6) Did those early disciples of Jesus have the needed courage to keep on witnessing about him? Indeed they did. (Acts 5:30-32) Some 27 years after Pentecost 33 C.E., it could be said that “the message of truth of the good news” had reached Jews and Gentiles “in all creation under heaven.”—Col. 1:5, 23. w14 7/15 4:7, 8

Not you too. It was a great play on words , humorous but not the time for it. Tis the season not to be jolly but to be serious, our minds should be appreciative of what Jesus did on that night. Nothing humorous about it, right? Sweat as thick as blood!!! Would you laugh!!!

I purposely went to the article of the same year, so you would see that the one the brother was referred to made no sense.  Further research was sorely needed at the time.
We have to dig and dig until we finally get the mind of Christ.  We had several articles that showed that porneia covers a number of serious sexual sins.   The elders should keep up to date and help others with current understanding.  In any case porneia covers extra-marital sex, homosexuality and bestiality.
Kind regards. Agape

The solid foundation of God remains standing.—2 Tim. 2:19.
What is significant about Paul’s word choice in this scripture? This is the only mention in the Bible of “the solid foundation of God.” The Bible uses the word “foundation” as a metaphor for various things, including literal Jerusalem as the capital of ancient Israel. (Ps. 87:1, 2) The role that Jesus plays in Jehovah’s purpose is also compared to a foundation. (1 Cor. 3:11; 1 Pet. 2:6) What did Paul have in mind when he wrote about “the solid foundation of God”? Paul mentions it in the same context in which he quotes Moses’ words about Korah and his supporters, recorded at Numbers 16:5. Paul was evidently referring to the events in Moses’ day in an effort to encourage Timothy and remind him of Jehovah’s ability to detect and counteract rebellious acts. Jehovah’s purpose was not about to be thwarted by brothers in the congregation any more than it was by Korah centuries before.—Num. 16:35. w14 7/15 1:2, 4-6
