Continuing on from the "not what christians do " thread...
Does anyone know the jw teaching on drinking 'a drop of poison' from some other religion ?
Yet it is said....... if they drink any deadly thing, it will not hurt them

I do not comprehend your question.

I'm sure that I've read or seen a jw teaching about making sure you don't drink a drop of poison ie. from another source/religion, whereas scripture appears to portray something very contrary - is there such a teaching ?

Do you have the reference in mind where it says that Christians would handle snakes and not be harmed or drink poison and not be affected? (Mark 16:9-20) Note what the footnote in the NIV version says:
"The most reliable early manuscripts and other ancient witnesses to not have Mark 16:9-20."

I don't think they ever put those things together. Is this what you had in mind?
*** rs p. 323 Religion ***
Is it true that there is good in all religions?
Most religions do teach that a person should not lie or steal, and so forth. But is that sufficient? Would you be happy to drink a glass of poisoned water because someone assured you that most of what you were getting was water?
