Ok, I understand your wanting to be nice with them. But just say, "thank you for your assistance over the years but I don't wish to be a JW any longer and I don't wish to have another meeting with you."
And leave it at that.
How to politely refuse a last chance meeting with the elders?

I told him that I don't want to be in the religion anymore
If you have changed your mind and don't want to be DFd, you can deny saying this if there was no other witness, then refuse to meet with them. It might not work.
If there was another witness and you still don't want to be DFd, you are going to have to meet with them and lie, repent, lick boots etc..
Tell your father that if he hadn't brought you up in a high control religion that treats it's non-believing children like shit, that his family wouldn't be in this situation. If he had been truthful with you about the WTs history of prophetic failures (and every other subject he has been dishonest with you about) that you would never have gotten baptised and his church's bully boys wouldn't have an excuse for their bad behaviour.
So.... because he is the one who caused all this crap in the first place, and he's supposed to be the Coordinator of the local Watchtower bully boys, he should protect his son and call the bloody dogs off.

Yeah, but I do want to get DF'd and be talked to as little as possible, in other words try to not meet the next time as much as possible, but being polite and direct which I'm not sure how to do. Or maybe not direct, but I want it to be clear.

Your Dad is the COBOE. He got you into this mess. Why can't you tell him to deal with them?

Because I'm living with my uncle now and I don't want to talk to him.
He's shutted me out of my house.

Do not answer the phone.
Tell your uncle you are not taking calls from anyone that you haven't named.
How long will your uncle let you stay? Last I heard it was only a week.

Please..just let them do what they are going to do without your help. Any time you give them, will only trouble your mind. They have a way about making you feel dirty and less then, Don't do it..it's so not worth it!! Just let them do their job without further damaging you. In the end they are sinners just like everyone else, so why give them any power over you?

It's a shame your uncle is caught in the middle of this, but if your Dad is going to let the religion make him look like a complete prick, he might as well do it with an audience. It might help him come to his senses.

I'm staying for much longer than a week.

Can you write a letter disasociating yourself? That would be better than getting the DF.
