sensitive Pearls and plumbing line

I've put it sensitive, just because of the nature -

From the snippets of TTUAC I've read online, Pearls mentions you can buy plumbing line at Home Depot. He actually mentions it by name.

Would it do any good to contact Home Depot and tell them that they are named as being a store that sells instruments instructed to hit babies? I'm really not sure what it would lead to.... I'm just thinking about it and honestly feeling mad.

I don't think there's anything Home Depot can do about it.

You'd think there would be something they could do, right?

Pearl's writings are always so upsetting to me.

Home Depot is a registered trademark so really I think they could go after him. What page is it on, edition etc. I will write to them but not buy his book to get the 411.

Home Depot sells plumbing supply lines, of course. The thin flexible ones the Pearls buy for baby whipping are intended to supply water to ice makers, just as the belts sold at JC Penney are intended to hold pants up, not beat children.

I don't think it would make a difference (after all, who goes in and says "I'm buying this to beat my kid!?) but at the same time, their name has been brought up because of Lydia's death. Letters to the corporate office may at least get them to make a public statement against it, but the kind of person who buys plumbing line to whip their kids with will just see it as more "persecution against the righteous"

HD doesn't sell instruments to beat babies. They sell plumbing line as a home improvement tool. What people use it for HD has no control over.

Yes, but can the Pearls legally use HD's name for that purpose?

yes, because there are no laws against hitting your kids w/plumbing line and usage of a trademarked name falls under fair speech...

Right. If they were trying to co-opt the name for their own uses (as if they were claiming that they had a right to the Home Depot trademark or were marketing products under that name as if it were their own) that would be different. There is no prohibition against mentioning a company by name in a book.

Home Depot though could ask him to not use their name. IF I was the CEO i would be adamant that they not mention me in their book.

The book isn't published in Canada, and I've often wondered about reporting churches that hand it out. After all, under 2/over 12 and w/anything other than an open hand is illegal here in Canada. I think if churches hand it out they are encouraging people to break the law.

I wonder if that angle could be taken in the homeschool stores that sell it too.
