Umm. No.
I don't know a lot of JW history, but I do know about Christadelphian
history, and it doesn't feature JWs anywhere!

Can I echo this - despite being a Christadelphian, and not claiming to be
a Trinitarian, I have in found myself in agreement with Trinitarians
over the relationship between God and Jesus. I think there is a large range
of views with both extremes being unscriptural, BUT a huge amount of
confusion caused by the imprecision of English.
But we are getting off track so I will shut up.

Some are, some aren't, some like me say - "Can't be sure", but enjoy a
good debate none the less.
