Is it permissible to throw away a pamphlet from “Yakkok Witnesses” (a type of Christian group) that contains the name Hoya? Or should we say that it requires a Genizah?

The S.T. wrote Min Yishraf (Shabbat 16). And this is in a book written on parchment and in a kosher manner. A letter of recommendation for such a paper. The name written in this way is not sanctified. —————————————————————————————— Asks: Is it mandatory to destroy the flyer? Or can I leave it at home? —————————————————————————————— Rabbi: It seems to me that there is an obligation to eradicate, at least due to the fear of the consequences and effects. —————————————————————————————— Asks: What results and effects? From what I remember, you hold that it is permissible to read books of the Law and the Law of Moses, so why are you afraid of the effects here? —————————————————————————————— Rabbi: Relevant arguments are permissible to read, especially when you yourself want to find out and not just from the advice of instinct, but not sermons that do not come from the strength of arguments.
