I never understood the Jr.deacon carries messages from the Sr warden to the Jr. Warden and else where around the lodge. What messages ? Same with the Sr. Deacon. Maybe 100 years ago. But why keep it in the duties ?

Interesting! The main role of SD here in the US is to conduct candidates. What is the main duty of the SD where you are then?We have an inner guard. The major role of both deacons is to conduct candidates during degrees.
In Emulation, the JD conducts the candidate in the 1st degree and the very first section of the 2nd, whilst the SD conducts during most of the 2nd and all of the 3rd.Interesting! The main role of SD here in the US is to conduct candidates. What is the main duty of the SD where you are then?

Same here.Generally;
JD serves SW
SD serves WM
Interesting. JD here seems to serve as an Inner Guard role while the SD (even in the opening of the lodge) is stated as being the sole conductor of candidates.In terms of Degree Work
1st - JD leads candidate
2st - SD leads candidate
3rd - JD & SD leads candidate

JD serves SW

Explain why in your jurisdiction the JD is the second officer a visitor will meet?This will be my second term this year (2020) I have enjoyed my time in this chair. I would love it even more if I were closer to my lodge. You see I travel over 230 miles one way to get to my lodge. I have attended lodges in the area I live, I even joined one for a while. It just wasn't home and I was treated like an outsider. I even had an officer of the lodge I joined tell me I wasn't to talk about my home lodge, that it didn't matter when I was in his lodge.
I think as a Jr. Deacon it is our job as the second officer a visiting brother will encounter to set the tone and welcome every one warmly and make them feel as welcome as they would in there own lodge.
Oh, I wasn’t disputing whether it was correct, but to explain the difference to me. In my US jurisdiction, he would first meet the WM, perhaps the secretary, and the investigation committee, often headed by the SW. He will likely meet the tyler. He wouldn’t so much meet the JD, as have him hold the door open. SD or SW introduces, depending on visitor rank.Senior decon, to introduce and accommodate visting brothren, receive and conduct candidates.
Jr.decon, to take charge of the door and with the assistance of the stewards, prepare and present candidates.
So I'm sure he got it right.
If we're talking purely from the ritual of an initiation, the JD would be the third officer involved in Emulation. The Tyler prepares the candidate, the Inner Guard receives him into the lodge and then the JD escorts him.Oh, I wasn’t disputing whether it was correct, but to explain the difference to me.

In Emulation work, the JD wouldn’t figure in any of this.
It was visitors that was being discussed.If we're talking purely from the ritual of an initiation, the JD would be the third officer involved in Emulation. The Tyler prepares the candidate, the Inner Guard receives him into the lodge and then the JD escorts him.

Ah yes, I've just gone back and it is visitors. I got candidate sick in my head...It was visitors that was being discussed.
I think.
Hmm. If you have candidate sick in your head, that is a bad thing. I have children who help with that sort of thing. HahahahahaAh yes, I've just gone back and it is visitors. I got candidate sick in my head...
