  "Jack" was the greatest person who ever lived. Yep. It was definitely "Jack."

  I couldn’t agree with you more.

  I am slightly changing my answer. The GREATEST person that ever lived was Jesus Christ. The GREATEST person alive now is FARKEL.

  Who greatly influenced society: who either saw the inherent dignity in individuals or felt that individuals lives had no meaning; for the sake of the cause, whether for religious or political reasons

  on the positive: Jesus Christ, St. Francis of Assisi?, Ghandi, Martin Luther King Jr, Mother Theresa, Nelson Mandela, Rosa Parks,

  on the negative: Pope Urban II, Pope Innocence III, just to name a couple, Darwin?, Stalin, Lenin, Hitler, Hussein

  There are so many more but I think the above greatly influenced our civilization.

  That woman you never met or heard of who gave her life to save her children. Or the people who helped slaves and victims of wars. The people who promoted peace and brought on global awareness. The list is great, and just because one person is or is not well known does not make them a greater person. Mankind as a whole is ugly AND beautiful, and all humans have the potential to be perverse, some just learn from thier past and others do not, some share what they have learned and some do not. That is all.

  A product of 1930's thought and yet, while still successful, just solves one problem and adds another: become a "true believer" and your other problems can be solved, too.

  They've done a tremendous amount of good, Jim. They just haven't found the real answer for the problem they set out to solve. They've only found one of many "techniques" that can work. Sometimes.

  Farkel,

  Their purpose was not to find a cure, but to ease the pain. They did so in the fellowship of others, never condemning those who couldn't quite make it, and always welcoming back those who relapsed. Everything these wise men ever taught was in the form of a suggestion, giving the individual the opportunity to custom tailor those suggestions to the individual's needs.

  We as exJWs look for cultic similarities in every organization imaginable. If we scratch the surface, we can usually find them. If we dig deeper, we may find something entirely different, possibly beneficial.

  Jelly.

  You said: "George Wasington".

  You obviously don't know history.

  I'm not about to educate you, either. It's up to you. The life and times of our First President is so full of myths and lies that you need to educate yourself on the matter.

  So, get crackin'!

  onacruse,

  : There are so many more but I think the above greatly influenced our civilization.

  Of course, your answer has nothing to do with the question offered at this thread.

  Hint: read the title of this thread and then consider your answer......
