But, I don't follow JA's ministry, so in real time he is on the same level Swami Bhagwan Rajneesh to me. So, when asked what are my plans concerning what I should do if he drops the watermelon, is nothing much, maybe mock it if the door opens, but other than that, continue with my life, and he will continue with his.
Yet, what I would suggest is that everyone should pray for Brother JA, peradventure that he would come out an make it right with Jesus after the elections come and go.
BUT!
If he hits the bullseye?
Then I guess we need to apologize to him.

The chances of him hitting the bullseye are slim to none. But he regularly prophesies and holds himself out as a prophet, as do many other people. Have their prophecies come true? They tend to glide right over that. I remember back in the 1970s, the Rapture was going to come very, very soon and I had nightmares over missing the Rapture. In the 1980s, it was "88 Reason the Rapture Will Occur in 1988." In the 1990s, it was Y2K. In the '00s--I don't know except that people have been predicting doom and gloom since Obama got elected and, frankly, I've not seen jackbooted thugs in the streets.
But all these prophets--nahhh. I still remember what this Lutheran (!) pastor told me over 20 years ago about the Rapture and Second Coming. He pointed out that throughout Christian history, since the Resurrection until now, believers have met Jesus at their deaths. And we don't know when death will come to us, so we just have to be prepared. And not worry about prophecies which are very likely not going to come true.
