Grumblecakes, this is a little more of the quote to get some context
9 Some desires, when satisfied in the manner decreed by the Creator, are not wrong in themselves. Indeed, they add pleasure to life. For example, there are the normal desires to enjoy good food and drink, to participate in refreshing activities, and to find delight in wholesome companionship. Even the desire for sexual pleasure with one’s marriage mate is fitting and has its place. (1 Cor. 7:3-5) Peter, though, correctly limited the “fleshly desires” of which he was speaking to those that “carry on a conflict against the soul.” Making it obvious just what is meant, some Bible translations speak of “fleshly lusts” ( King James Version ) or “sinful desires” ( New International Version ). Clearly, any human desire that conflicts with Jehovah’s expressed purpose and that could negatively affect one’s good relationship with God must be kept in check. Otherwise a Christian’s hope of keeping his soul alive could be seriously endangered.
As you can see, the quote is not really taken out of context. There is a subtle message that even sex with your marriage mate might end up getting you killed at Armageddon. Any human desire. Best to stick to studying the WT and praying to the GB, this will keep us safe when the Big A strikes. Which by the way is still SOON, here is another gem from the same article
7 Soon Christ will exercise his authority to destroy Satan’s wicked system
I hate soon. They never define it, and they use it constantly now in articles and talk outlines. Soon. . . . Is that within 5yrs, 20yrs. . . . .200yrs.
The Watchower speak is so painful. 'participate in refreshing activities' and 'find delight in wholesome companionship'. SHUT UP!! Please STOP!!
