No.

Jehovah's Witnesses do not engage in inter-faith, meaning that if one is a JW, they will not be belonging or supporting any other religion, including Anglican.

There are several scriptural principles that come into play, all stressing that christians are to be in unity, and "oneness" with God, and that there is not to be among God's people any who mix with what we consider to be false religion.(2 Corinthians 6:17; Ephesians 4:13) Since Jehovah's Witnesses strongly believe that their's is the true faith, that would rule out belonging to any other faith.

Answer from an AnglicanNo you cannot. There is quite a simple reason why you cannot be a Jehovah's Witness and an Anglican. Anglicanism is a denomination in the worldwide Christian Church (including the Roman Catholics, Orthodox, Methodists, Baptists and so on), and as such accepts that Jesus is Lord and Saviour, is part of a Trinitarian Godhead, and is to be worshipped as God the Son, as did his followers in the time he was on earth, and as billions have done over the last 2000 years. Whichever Christian denomination you are, and that includes Anglicanism, if you are a member of the orthodox Christian Church then you need to accept this most basic doctrine, as laid down in Genesis, John 1, the end of Matthew's Gospel and in countless other places in The Bible and the teachings of the earliest followers of Christ and their own disciples.

In the Jehovah's Witness movement, they do not accept the divinity of Christ, regard the Trinity as the work of the devil, and other 'religions', including the whole of the Christian Church, as in league with Satan. Therefore, you cannot be an Anglican who accepts the divinity of Christ it AND a JW who denies it. You cannot be part of the worldwide Christian Church AND a member of an organisation who believes that it is the work of the devil. As Christ himself said - "You are either for me, or against me...You cannot serve two masters".
