Hi GermanJw,
If you mean by 'high level' any member of the GB, I doubt it very much. Too much to lose, too little to gain, too late in life.
As for DO's, CO's and prominent elders, my own intuition is that unless some very obvious doctrinal flaws are not attended to quickly, 100's in 'middle-management' will leave within the next five years or so. I am aquainted with one CO who is planning the famous 'fade' quite shortly and have heard of another.
One thing is certain, often the ones who leave are those that the WTS cannot afford to lose.
Like all dictatorships who strive to extinguish the light of intellectualism and free thinking but removing opposition by force, their own regime is the first to suffer. Those who are best placed to re-generate the process of survival are re-placed by ‘yes men’ and syncopates. They shoot themselves in the foot with each thinking and sincere elder that is forced out.

Fred,
While you listen to 'Kraftwerk', please leave us in peace to discuss 'Kraftywerk'.
