The last 2 shots look identical to me have you posted the same image twice Bill ? Thats tough shooting white, I always underexpose by -2/3 to a full stop and use PhotoShop to bring the shot back to a decent level.

As Alby says- not a diffuser problem (that's normally bright reflections) but an overexposure problem. If you are using flash and have a light object against a darker background you will probably need to dial in -ve FEC (flash exposure compensation) by about -2/3rds and do the reverse when you have a dark subject against a light background (ie +2/3 FEC).

A diffuser is always a good thing even if it is not the problem here.
