The WT is right because...
It has been continuously in print since 1879 ... AND ... Every magazine is exactly 32 pages.
This is so surreal, it reminds me of something they would've said at the tea party in Alice in Wonderland. Next time you hear this kind on nonsensical argument, you could reply with the equally nonsensical "Why is a raven like a writing desk?" (the riddle from Alice in Wonderland which has no answer).
As a former worker in the press room at the Farm, this type of publication has to have a multiple of eight because the size of presses that are available and the size of the magazine. In other words, if they wanted to make the magazine longer they would have to make it 40 pages long (two sides of four panels.) If they wanted to make it shorter it would have to be 24 pages. They just happened to choose 32 over other options.
This is exactly correct. It's the same reason almost all of their books have 192 pages.
I think the strangest rationale I ever heard wasn't specifically about the JW's but about the bible itself, although it was spoken by a CO that was trying to answer my doubts: The bible is true because we can actually go to the places it mentions, Jerusalem, Egypt, etc., and they are really there. I answered that I can go to Tokyo too, that doesn't mean I believe Godzilla is a documentary.
