Resumen
The testimonial is a way of statement that demonstrates or admit the existence of a reality
with which the enunciator has contacted. This is, thus, pushed to say what he saw, heard or
touched. In this paper, we verified the effects of senses produced in the blog of Bishop
Macedo, founder of the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God (UCKG), from a corpus
which consists of nine testimonies of presumed believersselected among 64 statements
distributed during the year, 2012. Instead of instantaneous testimonials, on a live presentation,
these media narratives are underpinned by attributes such as hyperlinks, visuals, language
translators, besides mechanisms of interaction and sharing in other spheres from mediatic
slant. The problem of this analysis was born from the observation of regular points in the
discursive architecture of these testimonials, when was identified the existing relation force
between the sacred and the profane, everyday practices. During six months, analysis of the
empirical material, we found some effects of the senses on the testimonials, as the dialectic
structure and the need for denuding a precarious past, an engagement to shield the figure of
Macedo and the UCKG towards society; a update of a crusade against other religions; and the
presence of certain sensuality in self-deprecation of the deponents, and an unequal relation of
forces (sacred and profane) in the construction of truth. In order of succeeding in this
investigation, we used the theoretical and methodological assumptions of Analysis of French
Discourse (AD), denouncing the qualitative nature of the research. As a methodological
principle, we still use transdisciplinarity, which validated some of our dialogues, especially
with philosophy. The conception of discourse modeled by a media support and transpassed by
the subject(s) and story (ies) characterized the perspective of the research
