Do Jehovah's Witnesses eat meat with blood in it and non-kosher foods if not why?
In reality, this is two different questions. The reason is that the term kosher meat refers to all animals permitted by Jewish law, not just meat that has been properly bled. Animals such as pigs, rabbits, shrimp, clams, oysters, etc, are not permitted by Jewish law, and are thus regarded as non-kosher, whether it has blood in it or not. Jehovah's Witnesses have no such religious dietary restrictions. The reason is that, as Christians, we are under the "Law of the Christ."-(Galations 6:2) According to The Bible, the Mosaic Law, with it's dietary restrictions, was "nailed to the stake"(Colosians 2:13,14) along with Jesus, when he sacrificed his life for all those excercising faith in him. So the Bible also says: "Christ is the end of the Law."-(Romans 10:4; 6:14) Therefore, JW's do not practice the Mosiac Law which includes these dietary restrictions. However, while the Mosaic Law was done away with by the Law of the Christ, there are some things that were in the Mosiac Law that are still included in the Christian requirements. Many people are familiar with the "Old Testiment" verses that say not to eat blood. This is of course part of the Mosaic Law.-(Leviticus 7:26) In the "New Testiment," the same restriction against the misuse of blood was repeated apon the Christian congregation. At Acts 15:28,29, we read that Christians are to avoid "...things strangled," and "...blood." Christians are not to consume blood, but they also need to avoid eating animals that are strangled, which would trap blood in the animal. Not all blood can be evacuated from the meat. Whenever a piece of meat is cooked, there are still trace amounts of blood that is cooked along with the meat, that is unavoidable. But the key is, was the animal properly bled? Was every attempt made to get as much blood from the animal as possible, or was it put to death in a manner, such as strangulation, that would not allow for the blood to be properly drained? While we do eat meats that are considered non-kosher, such as pork, rabbit, and shrimp, we would avoid meats from animals that were not properly bled at the time of the kill.
