lol, i'm not confused one bit
As far as i know, it can only use the images of people who have died and are on the island presently but not buried. This is why the "others: always came back for their dead so they could not be used against them.
It picked john because that was the loophole the mib (man in black/smoke monster/fake locke) stated to jacob hundreds of years past when they saw the black rock approaching on the beach...also it picked john because he is the current leader of the "others" and they have to do as he says.
Jacob and the smoke monster are like two sides of a coin...one is good/one is evil. he has to have jacob die in order for him to achieve whatever it is he is trying to achieve and from what he said, he is just trying to go home.
and they showed jacks fathers body, remember...jack found the coffin in season 1 i believe..but then it disappeared...i'm assuming the smoke monster moved it somewhere so he could continue to use it.
